Edward's POV

Four days after the verdict, everything had moved on.

    I ordered wine. The work wasn't finished. The room was quieter. She took the glass without comment. Drank. Set it down and kept writing. She spoke about the eastern corridor communities directly, without framing or adjustment, as if they existed in the room with us. Her hand moved as she talked, m

    Edward's POV The door opened behind me. No knock. She came in already talking. "I need your numbers from Rotterdam before we fix anything else," she said. "The version you gave him assumes—" She stopped. I didn't turn immediately. Just reached for the towel, dragged it once over my face, then

    The auctioneer's cadence moved through the wall. I had built something without him. That was still true. It would stay true. Whatever I said next didn't touch it. "I don't know," I said. "That's the honest answer. Not the managed version." I met his gaze. "I don't know if what's left is enough to

    Alicia's POV The older man was still talking. "Seven years," he said. "Four jurisdictions. We moved water infrastructure across borders that hadn't spoken to each other in a generation." His hands traced corridors in the air between us. "The archive is the proof it happened. That it worked." He tu

    “You entered without cause,” I said. “You stayed without one.” “I don’t know what this is between you two but—” “My wife.” No variation in tone. No additional weight needed. Alicia’s hand lifted a little, then halted mid-motion and settled again without completing the gesture. The woman exhaled

    Edward’s POV “Forty thousand. Do I have forty-five?” The paddle was already raised. Alicia’s hand remained under mine, unchanged in position, as though neither of us had adjusted to its presence since it settled there. “Forty-five.” I raised. “Fifty. Fifty-five.” On the left, a man leaned forw

    I climbed the stairs. My footsteps echoed off the walls. The house swallowed the sound. The bedroom door was already open. I pushed through. My suit jacket from yesterday dropped carelessly over the chair. The bed was unmade. A water glass sat on the nightstand, half-empty, dew ring marking the w

    Alicia's POV The studio was already warm by the time I looked up from my laptop. July heat seeped through the windows, thick in the late morning, more typical of the season than the brief cold spells that had cropped up throughout the month. I’d been working since eight. Maybe earlier. Time blurr

    Alicia's POV I fumbled with the keys at Elena's door. One of the grocery bags slipped, handles cutting into my palm. I shifted my grip, and got the key in, turned it. The door swung open. Warm air hit me first. Light from the living room. The TV was low on some crime show Elena wasn’t watching.

    Alicia's POV I stepped inside quietly. The door clicked shut behind me with a sound that felt more like breath than noise. No rush through the hallway. No tight shoulders. No frantic energy.
