The printout rustled in Sofia's hands. Liam, her husband, had written a novel about her. About *them*. He portrayed her as a bold, brilliant scientist who was changing the world! She knew he was proud of her, but this…this was different. She had not had any idea of all this.

She reread a specific passage about a recent disagreement they'd had, his interpretation of it making her heart ache and flutter. Her breath caught in her throat. She felt an overwhelming rush of something like joy.

Liam’s car pulled into the driveway. Sofia felt a sudden, almost desperate need to laugh.
