    Summary

    “You knew it was me.”

    Ekko traps the head of a bad nail between the grips of his hammer and works it out of a half-rotten plank. He sets it on a pile of other rusty nails.

    “I guessed.”

    “No. You knew.”

    There’s no accusation in her tone, just a matter-of-fact statement. Calling him out on his bullshit.

    Ekko gets to working on another nail. He doesn’t respond. But he doesn’t deny it, either.

    He hears her let out a breath through her nose. Like she’s figured something out. Maybe she has; she always knew him too well. He sort of hoped that after all this time, she couldn’t still do that.

    But somehow, he’s not surprised.
