One of the officers called my cell.

A woman here says she lives at this address, he told me.

She does not, I said.

She says she’s your fiancée.

The wedding was canceled today, I said, and she has no permission to remove anything from my home.

They could not arrest her on the spot, because she’d come in with a key I had given her, but they documented all of it, took the metal box, and walked her off my property with a formal trespass warning.

On the driveway camera her face was perfectly still.
