The Sixteen Seconds
Wren has used it twice.
Once at eleven, for four months.
Once at twelve, for three weeks.
Both times I told Simone by text, in one sentence, without editorializing, because that was the protocol we agreed.
Both times Simone wrote back the same three words, which I believe she had been coached to and which she has never once deviated from.
Okay.
I understand.
She has never once asked me to intervene.
