Sophie writes everything down, or almost everything. She sometimes wonders whether she is even remembering to note things down. Then she realises that she has written the same thing twice. Her arrest for shoplifting at Monoprix a month ago has left her badly shaken. The security guards took her into a windowless room and took turns trying to get her to sign a confession. From what she wrote to Valérie, they are utter bastards, but they’re good at their job. At harassing people. She did not really understand what they wanted. Then the police arrived. They were in a hurry. They did not pull their punches. She had the choice of being taken down to the station and referred to the magistrate’s court, or to admit to shoplifting and sign a statement: she signed. She couldn’t bring herself to tell Vincent, she simply couldn’t. The problem is, it has just happened again. This time it will be more difficult to hide. A bottle of perfume and a manicure kit were found in her bag. But Sophie was lucky. She was taken to the commissariat – it was action stations out there in the street – but released two hours later. She had to make up an excuse for her husband, who was waiting for her.

The following day, she lost her car again, and a number of other things.

Noting everything down is probably the best solution, but, as she writes, “I’m starting to get obsessive, even paranoid. I’m forever monitoring myself as though I am the enemy.”
