“Napa Valley!” Nina said.

“Bingo.”

Ada’s mom was still frazzled. Ada had been trying all morning to get her attention, but Ms. Lace was busy talking to potential clients and setting up meetings for Guy Miroir. Nothing usually seemed to rattle her, but after spending so much time with the demanding artist, the wear was starting to show. She picked up a pen and dropped it, put down a piece of paper and then lost it, dialed part of a phone number and then put the phone down. Maybe what Ada and Nina had to tell her would be a relief. Maybe Ms. Lace could just tell everyone about Guy Miroir once and for all—today—and then she wouldn’t have to run around doing a bunch of chores for him.

Ada and Nina stood at the door to Ms. Lace’s home office and watched as she shuffled a bunch of papers and circled, scratched out, and underlined various things with her pen. Finally, she looked up.

“Okay, girls. I know you’ve been following me. Out with it. Is this about the piece you think Guy stole from you, Nina?”

“Oh! He’s Guy now,” said Ada. “I thought it was Mr. Miroir.”

“Just tell me what’s up, please.”

“It is about that piece,” said Nina.

“Listen, I know it seems weird,” said Ms. Lace. “But it happens all the time creatively. You are into the same things. You admire his work. . . .”

“But he made his piece after mine, Ms. Lace,” said Nina.

“You don’t know that for sure,” said Ms. Lace.

“But we know he was looking at Nina’s piece!” said Ada. “The IP address points to Napa Valley.”
