Chapter 101Lennon found out about the classroom video from the same Instagram account that had posted the restaurant photo.He was still in the corridor with Archer when his phone buzzed. He looked at the notification. He clicked through and watched the twelve seconds.He watched them again.The angle was bad and the resolution was worse and it did not matter because the angle was bad in the direction of insufficient rather than unclear, insufficient clarity about faces, but not insufficient to recognize the shapes of two people who had been photographed and discussed and compiled into fan content for months.He stood up."I need to go," he said."I know," Archer said. "Go."He went back into the office. Damien was at his desk. He looked up. Lennon held out his phone.Damien watched the twelve seconds. He watched them again. He set the phone on the desk and sat very still for a moment."Roman," he said. He typed a text."Someone was in the corridor," Lennon said. "While we were, the

Chapter 103Mia's message came through at nine that evening.Lennon was at Damien's kitchen island with his notebook open on page eight of the fifteen pages, which were going better and worse simultaneously—better because they were honest and worse because of what they were honest about. He read the message twice.“I know this is probably the wrong time and I know you are with someone and I know that someone is not me, but I need to say this once so that I have said it. I think I am in love with you. The version I saw at that coffee shop when you stopped performing and just talked. I know you cannot give me what I want, i am not asking you to. I just needed you to know.*He sat with the message for a long time.He thought about who she was—not the version of her that had been useful to him as a prop or a strategy, but the actual person. The one who talked about books with specific opinions and asked follow-up questions and had said *be brave* with a small heart when she could have s

Chapter 105They went back inside through the library side door.Damien kept his hand at Lennon's arm until they were through the door and then let go and turned around and looked through the glass at the east gate. The man had not moved. He was standing with his phone in a way that could pass for casual and was not casual."Who is he," Lennon said."PI. I do not know which firm yet. Roman will know within the hour." He was already typing.Lennon leaned against the wall beside the door and looked at the ceiling and breathed through the cold feeling in his chest. He thought about the classroom video. The restaurant photograph. The chain of documentation that had been building for months. Someone had been watching long enough and patiently enough that now there was a person at the east gate with a phone."He followed us from the office," Lennon said."From the building. He picked us up at the exit." Damien put his phone away. "He has been on the grounds for at least forty minutes. Roma

Chapter 107The meeting was already in progress when Lennon reached the door.He had not been called to the meeting. He had been told to wait in the corridor. He had waited in the corridor for eleven minutes, then he had stopped waiting and gone to find Archer, who had been sitting on a bench outside the building with his phone and a coffee and the expression of someone who had been watching a window."Is Roman inside," Lennon said."Roman is inside," Archer said. "He arrived eight minutes ago with a folder."Lennon looked at the window. "What kind of folder.""The kind Roman carries when he intends to end a conversation." Archer looked at him. "He is very good at ending conversations."Lennon went inside.He found the conference room on the second floor. The door was closed. He could hear voices through it. Hargrove's clipped bureaucratic cadence, Roman's level silence when it was his turn, and underneath both of them, Damien, controlled, precise and not raised.He stood in the cor

Chapter 109Mia texted on Thursday.“I know you said last time. I know. I am not asking for a date. I just—there is something I left unsaid and I need to say it, then I will be done. Can I have twenty minutes? Just to talk.”Lennon read it. He looked at it for a long time.He did not tell Damien.He went.He told himself it was different because it was closure, not a date. He told himself twenty minutes was nothing. He told himself all of it on the way there, none of it held. He knew it did not hold and he went anyway, which was the honest version of the thing that had been happening for month.It was not a café this time. It was a bench outside the library at noon. She was already there. She looked like someone who had been thinking about what to say."Thank you for coming," she said."You said twenty minutes," he said. "I have twenty minutes.""That is all I need." She looked at her hands. "I am not going to ask for anything. I just need to say one thing and have you hear it.""Ok
