Kevin arrives at the penthouse the next morning with his laptop and a printed document that is approximately thirty pages thick. He sets it on the coffee table with the gravity of someone presenting a doctoral dissertation.
"What is that?" I ask, though I'm not sure I want to know the answer.
"The Lucas Grey Comprehensive Analysis. Updated to include all data from the jealousy test and subsequent emotional resolution."
Sophie, who has arrived with pastries, grabs the document before I can. "Kevin. This is thirty pages."
"Thirty-two. I added an appendix."
"An appendix. For a document about Lucas."
"The appendix contains transcripts of key conversations, ear redness measurements over time, and a comparative analysis of jealousy responses across multiple incidents."
