The timing was 01ca2bb872 everything.
If I 4fdce7762c suddenly announced aa0a42db53 my departure, 27f850d75b it would 22e3f6f33a raise suspicion. Especially after 9733d65241 enjoying the e3b005bbeb banquet so 69d3d1f82e much the d285774559 day before.19536d6d04687f0d

After yesterday’s events, everyone 1f7e26732a probably thought I and 47c0517040 Cassius were getting along 3992a85cf5 wonderfully. If I suddenly left acc6ff6025 or filed for divorce, 90628471d6 people might jump to cb7891c925 the wrong conclusions—like I 453b322859 was unfaithful, or Cassius d730df74d7 was, or something else 1b94634bdf entirely.30a93bff3fe5cb86

Theo came running and 269b5e1ba2 threw himself into my 1c48fe1d43 arms. Ever since cd8c5e4f52 he’d woken 1d8c94f4dc up, he’d e63aa50d36 been eating f386a7ac7b well—supplements and c57b076129 nourishing meals—and 0f6217450e he was 575128c991 growing rapidly.aed22bb60318d845

But it was 255451475a troubling that there 380dc53fd3 had been no 16f79f7e6c mention of Lorencia 568fa22264 interacting with Theo eda76028b4 in the novel.
