"No. I was just... sitting."

“Good. I need to ask you something—and I want you to hear me out before you say no.”

I frowned.

"Okay."

    "Finish that sentence." My voice cut across hers. A beat passed. A shift crossed her eyes. Then she said it anyway. "Cleaned houses for people like us." The room went completely quiet. "My mother." I stopped. "Worked with her hands for people who believed that made her less than them. People exac

    Alicia’s POV The pen was in my hand. I hadn't moved since the door closed. The page in front of me, the same line, and now I knew someone had been observing me return to it, watching long enough to count each return. I had spent three years believing he never saw the parts that weren't performed.

    "He also mentioned Vera Sorel has made her attendance at the follow-up conditional on yours," I said, letting the other piece of the weight land between us. "He wanted me to know that." The pen halted in her hand. She took a breath, slow, through her nose, and the line of her throat moved once befo

    Edward's POV Phillip arrived at twenty past ten. He settled into the chair across my desk and set his coat on the arm of it. The draft was already in his hand before he opened his mouth. "Signed and filed as of this morning. Your name on the minority position. Clean." He set a single folded page

    "I don't know." "You said it to him. Not here." The pause that followed remained too long to be casual. "What are you afraid of?" I didn't rush it. "That I'm seeing it right. And it still falls apart anyway." She shook her head slightly. "That's not uncertainty. That's you refusing to close y

    Alicia's POV Elena didn't turn when I came in. She was at the counter, spoon hovering over a bowl she hadn't touched in a while. The kettle had gone cold long enough to feel intentional. My bag hit the floor by the door. She didn't look at it. "You came back wrong." "I came back two days ago."

    "The witness may step down." I crossed the room. Back past the partition. Sat. The technician moved to the front. The screen descended from the ceiling at the far end.

    Alicia's POV Cole didn't pause. Didn't shuffle papers. Didn't let the room fall back into whatever Lucy's lead had left behind. He was already standing. "Ms. Valentine." His voice carried nothing performative in it. No architecture. Just direct. "You walked out of the board meeting that afterno

    Alicia's POV The judge looked at her papers. The room held. I had been in this chair since nine o'clock. Through the cross-examination. Through Cole's redirect. Through seven months of my life laid out on a table for twelve strangers to weigh. Through footage of a corridor I had walked out of bef

    Alicia's POV I was late. Twelve minutes, according to my watch when I stepped off the elevator on sixty-four. The quarterly review had started at noon. It was twelve-twelve.
