I remembered Daniel assuring me that it was just routine
documents.
"His company is on the list of funding entities," Dr. Reeves explained.

His expression changed.
He's your husband.
How does he know I'm here?
- I don't know.
He let the connection stop, then pulled a sealed envelope out of the cupboard.
“Someone provided this with instructions yesterday to tell you if the results indicate a link to this research program. My name was on the envelope.
There was an old photograph inside.
The hospital room.
A narrow bed.
There's a young man standing next to it.
And there's a gray-haired woman on the bed who's strikingly like me.
