    Summary

    Seven days before Alice Mercer is found unconscious on the beach, Tom Miller asks Alec Hardy how tall he is.

    Then how many women he's slept with.
    Then how much money he makes.
    Hardy decides teenagers are strange and forgets about it.

    A week later, a missing phone and a group chat give Hardy and Miller rather more context than either of them wanted.

    Some things are easy to count.
    Wanting isn't one of them.
