Summary
TMZ runs a blurry snapshot of Shiv’s titian head too close to an oblong one near the dry bar. Greg texts it to Tom, who squints at the screen and zooms in with his thumb and forefinger. He makes a stupid face. You can’t see anything. Just two scalps, one semi-anonymous, tucked in together against the spangle of schmoozers and Southern California.
Curled in near the bottom of the bed with her head nicked off his hip and her arms outstretched, Shiv is still visibly blue where he’d bitten down. Tom passes a finger along his forearm to feel the pebble of her teeth.
Please, he texts back, this is nothing.

Summary
They buy a cot, and talk about names. Amelia, Ophelia. He hates those ones and wants names with too many consonants: harsh, cracking like kicked stones. They begin to talk of moving, of a more child-friendly apartment. A fresh start without scorpions or toothmarks. Maybe even outside the city?
Sure, she says, sure. Will she be happy? She peels a clementine; drinks a cup of milk. Will she be happy? She’s not sure she’s ever been that: she’s been elated, she’s been crushed by despair. But never something as cruisingly simple as happy.
