07:07wrangle
07:08he turned to me the look i caught the first time was a man assessing exactly how angry he should
07:12let himself become damien sat back down on the edge of the bed he took his time he did not
07:16rush he laced
07:17his fingers across his knee he breathed in once deeply the way i had seen him do at family dinners
07:21when his mother said something cruel and he chose not to make it a war sloan she has mastered clues
07:25that we do not know that's right it's related to auditing about the audit i waited he was choosing

07:58the wire pattern matches equipment vendor payments diving rigs that never arrived drill bits that were
08:03never installed travel reimbursements for trips no one took for seven years for at least the last four
08:11i closed my eyes the money had never mattered my family had given the foundation more in any single
08:16year than what preston had pocket in four what mattered was the shape of it the shape was he had
08:21been planning this since at least four years ago since the year he and i had taken a sabbatical month
08:26to
08:26iceland together the year he had asked me to marry him and then walked it back the same evening because
08:32it
08:32wasn't the right time damien i opened my eyes what does reagan have that we don't
08:45her name on a wire two of them so far
08:53she's not the graduate studies she's been pretending to be damien laid it out on the rolling tray table at
08:58my elbow two wire transferals both routed through the same delaware shell both signed at the receiving
09:02end by our snow the amounts were not enormous 84 000 112 000 both wired in the last 14 months
09:08both
09:08dated to weeks reagan had been listed on preston's expedition minused as a junior research 84 000 for
09:13what equipment line item a piece of sonar gear that was never delivered she's 26 she's 26 on paper
09:20her undergrad was an internship at a foundation in connecticut whose director sat on three of
09:27preston's grant review panels she wasn't his accident she was his hire she was his hire
09:36how long have you known since the second wire cleared four months
09:46i was building i needed the chain to be unbreakable if you'd come to me sooner i'd have moved sooner
09:56i didn't know to come to you i know a nurse pushed open the door look at my face looked
10:01at
10:01the tray of documents looked at damon and quietly backed out damon picked up a fresh sheet from the
10:05bottom of the stack he turned it so i could see it was a screen grab of a private social
10:08media account
10:09locked one of two followers the western handle of a core counter the hand was not mine the post was
10:13dated two years before reagan had supposedly emailed preston out of the bluers the pin post
10:17was a photograph of preston in cross and true seat or hand been invincible the wound throbbed once
10:22i let it damien she's been with him for at minimum three years
10:32three years three years was an entire fellowship cycle three years was a lab move three years was
10:38every conference where preston had told me he was too overwhelmed to bring me as a guest three years
10:42was the time during which i had been planning a wedding in my head while writing his grants in my
10:47hand i picked the photograph back up the hand on preston's cheek had a small mark at the wrist
10:52the same shape as a beauty mark reagan had very pale almost invisible against her skin
10:58i had once told her that mark was lovely she had told me she hated it

11:53at least two years i closed my eyes he nominated you for the independent fellowship in part to diffuse

12:08doorway

15:42the night inside with claw marks down the side taken by a federal investigator the morning after my

16:48elbow by monday
16:49they had moved me out of the icu and into a regular suite on the 14th floor where the view
16:54stretched all
16:54the way down across the east river the flowers had started arriving friday afternoon and had not stopped
16:59the first arrangement was from my graduate school cohort the second from the foundation board the
17:04third and this one had made me sit up from the chair of the national science foundation who had
17:08written a personal note saying he had been appalled and that i should consider when i was well enough
17:13picking up the principal investigator role on the project that had been preston's the fourth came with
17:17no card you're upright i'm upright how does it feel like i have a hole in my chest but a
17:25much smaller
17:26one than yesterday he almost smiled from you
17:32narcissus from the lake house
17:38damien he met my eyes how long
17:44the flower since you were 12 not the flower he sat on the edge of the bed i sat with
17:51that
17:51sloan 20 years i was 29 20 years that meant when i had cried to him about my freshman year
17:57boyfriend
17:57at 16 he had already known that meant every time over the long stretch of years he had appeared at
18:01the
18:01edge of my life with the precise timing of a person who was paying very close attention without
18:05ever announcing himself i looked at the signet on my left hand damien
18:16why didn't you ever say damien took a long time to answer the light from the window had begun to
18:21thin the kind of new york winter dusk that turns everything blue when you were 12 you were 12 there
18:27was nothing to say when you were 16 you were dating that boy you were happy there was nothing to
18:33say
18:33when you were 19 you came home from college and told me you'd met a graduate student named preston marsh
18:40you want to know what i thought of him
18:44i told you he was fine you told me he was fine he wasn't fine i knew he wasn't fine
18:53but you wanted permission you were not asking me what i thought of him
18:58you were asking me to bless what you had already decided you blessed it anyway
19:04i blessed it anyway why he looked down at his hands because if i'd said no you have done it
19:10anyway and i would have lost you for the next decade instead of being able to sit across a holiday
19:13table from you twice a year i made a calculation the calculation was wrong he looked up i would have
19:22made a different one if i had known known what that he would put a hole in your chest the
19:30room held
19:30the sentence i felt the wound stir it did not hurt the same way anymore it hurt differently like something
19:35was being said through it and not done to it it wasn't his hole it was an ice shard it
19:41was his hole
19:41he left you with it he turned off your beacon he drove away he did not soften the statement the
19:47shape
19:48of the wound is ice fall and you cross the country the cause of the wound is preston marsh i
19:53would have
19:53crossed any country damien he did not look away i'm not gonna forgive him i know i'm not gonna take
20:08him back i know i am however going to need a minute i've spent a lifetime waiting for you sloan
20:25take all the time you need he stood he bent forward his lips brushed my forehead light the way an
20:30older
20:30brother might the way a person who had been disciplined about a feeling for a very long time
20:34might when the door was finally cracked open i have a meeting at seven i'll be back at nine damien
20:41don't be late he almost smiled he left the narcissist on the windowsill held their pale yellow
20:48in the blue light tuesday afternoon preston was arraigned i did not watch the live stream
20:54gossier told me about it after the fact sitting in the chair by my bed with her tablet face down
20:59on her
20:59knee she summarized in her efficient neutral voice the same voice she used to read me the morning
21:04flower deliveries preston had been processed through the federal courthouse in lower manhattan
21:09the charges were read loud federal embezzlement and wire fraud knowingly dissaying a fellow team
21:15member's emergency equipment in a hazardous environment and falsification of federal grant documentation
21:31his bail had been set at one million dollars his attorney had argued he was not a flight risk
21:37the prosecution had pointed to the whitfield foundation audit and to a passport that on
21:42inspection contained a sealed visa for a country with no extradition treaty his bail was set at one
21:48million dollars his attorney argued he was not a flight risk the prosecution pointed to the audit
21:54and to a passport with a visa for a country with no extradition treaty bail remained at one million
21:59dollars his passport was revoked how did he look smaller smaller at faculty fundraisers he carried
22:08himself like a man waiting to be the smartest in any room today he carried himself like a man waiting

23:24the
23:24ethics committee at preston's university convened on screen seven chairs around a heavy wood table in
