CHAPTER 9: ACCIDENTAL.
I’m plucking my eyebrows in my rearview mirror. This is a proven method for burning time in stop-and-go I-10 traffic. I’m trying to get home from another long meeting in San Bernardino County, and I’m stuck in an uncomfortable corporate suit.

Ben is washing my hair. It’s the first time I’ve seen him since he left the bouquet on my doorstep. “I loved the flowers.”
Ben smiles and keeps massaging my head.
