I would know. That is all it takes.
So I put it through a shredder in the June and then I rang Kellard Risk and asked them to destroy their copy, and they said they could not, for regulatory reasons, for six years.

Why he said nothing.
Because of something I said to him in 2021.
There had been somebody before Bryn. And my father had made a phone call about that man, and it had been the right call, and the relationship ended, and it ended correctly.
And I found out he had done it.
And I told him — in a kitchen, at thirty, with my coat on — that if he ever did anything like that again I would not speak to him.
And I meant it and he could tell I meant it.
