At the top of the transaction log sat a pending outgoing wire of twelve thousand dollars, set to be released at eight o’clock the next morning.

The recipient was Buckeye Title Escrow LLC, a local company that had never shown up on any of our joint tax returns or home renovation invoices.

I clicked on the transaction details to open up the routing sheet.

The transfer had been authorized electronically at four fifteen that afternoon, stamped with an IP address that came from our home network in Dublin.

I tapped my thumb against my index finger in three fast sets, staring at the blue ledger paper background on the screen.
