Two people. Two secrets. One silence that held them together - until it didn't.
Cliff knows the price of everything. Numbers, margins, the exact figure that makes a client trust you. What he never learned to measure was the weight of what he took - slowly, precisely, the way only a careful man can steal.
Ellen has a name that isn't hers. A life built on the right amount of truth and the right amount of nothing. She doesn't lie. She architects.

About learning to walk after.
