After she had cleared the table she called Tom. He wasn't there, so she left a message saying she would see him at seven the next evening. They watched television for a while, or pretended to watch; Rachel knew Adam was paying as little attention as she. He didn't even join in the canned laughter. Finally she removed one of the ubiquitous cats from her lap and began unpacking the carton of books.

"I said I'd carry them upstairs for you," Adam said.

"The books stay down here." She hesitated and then said, "If you want to work in this room, feel free. We could bring in another table."

"Maybe I will. If you don't mind?"

"Stop asking me what I want!" Rachel burst out. She pressed her hands to her head. "I'm sorry."

"That's okay. I understand."

"That's nice. I don't." She began sorting the books into piles. Adam watched her for a while and then said firmly, "I am going to bring my work into this room. First I will get another table."

Assisted by both dogs and by Figgin, he proceeded to do so. It didn't take long; he had no books, only a battered laptop and a few notebooks that also looked as if they had been through a war.

"What are you working on?" Rachel asked. Common courtesy was partially responsible for her question, but the sight of his materials roused her curiosity.

"First thing I have to do is type up these notes." Adam flipped open one of the notebooks, whose comers looked as if they had been chewed by a rat. The page was closely filled with neat, minuscule writing, quite unlike the block printing of the note he had once left for her. A handwriting expert would have described the writer as painfully repressed. As she looked closer she realized the apparent neatness was deceptive; only a few words were legible.
