When Love Turns into Betrayal
"Marcus talks about you all the time. About how you're the strongest client he's ever had. How you took the worst situation and turned it into power. He's so proud of you."
"He is?"
"He is. Says you remind him why he became a lawyer. To help people who actually deserve help."
I find Marcus later, hug him tight. "Thank you. For everything. For fighting for me. For believing in me. For being part of my team."
"You made it easy," he says. "You did the work. I just filed the paperwork."
"You did way more than that."
Around midnight, there's a knock on the wall between our spaces. Then another. Then a pattern. Morse code, maybe.
