The sender field identified the family logistics account used by Graham’s office.

The message was addressed to an assistant handling contact information.

It was not an accidental typo in Sophie’s address book.

It was a written instruction to use an address associated with me but no longer functioning as my mailbox.

That did not yet prove whose fingers had entered the sentence.

More than one person had used the logistics account.

We marked that question rather than jumping over it.

But the instruction itself had a purpose no polite summary could conceal.
