I went to the bathroom and stood in there for a while.

On the way out Jessi said, without looking at me, “Yeah.

He’s been doing that since he was four.

It’s disconcerting.”

She told him at the end of April.

I was not there.

That was item one and I did not argue with it, and she did it on a Saturday morning at home with a child psychologist named Delia Roche in the room, who they had both been seeing together since February.

I know what happened because Jessi told me that evening, in detail, over a phone call that lasted an hour and ten minutes.
