discomfort over being tricked by using a playful tone. “Me?” Emmanuel

pointed to himself, the picture of innocence. “That scoundrel Gautier faked

death, used Al to copy your voice, and somehow knew everything about m

enemies off the scent. Since he suggested it, she played along without

hesitation. He dictated, and she transcribed dutifully–understanding that her

well–known handwriting would make it look authentic. As long as no one saw
