We made three folders: House, Monthly Payments, and Communications.

Nina scanned my photographs and helped back them up.

Marcus called the attorney who handled the original closing to request copies of the file.

Sam worked through the payments from my checking account, highlighting entries I recognized and those I didn’t.

That afternoon, Daniel texted me.

YOU’VE MADE A FOOL OF ME. COME HOME AND APOLOGIZE TO SLOAN.

I stared at the message until my hands stopped shaking.

Then I forwarded it to Marcus and put my phone facedown.
