He processed things before he reported them, which meant that by the time he mentioned Diana’s name to Alex, the situation had already passed through several stages of development that Alex had not been informed of.“We’re together,” Michael said.

She knew from the way he read it, standing at the kitchen counter and not moving for longer than necessary, that it was not mail.He did not say what it was. She did not ask.
