They drank more wine, ordered udon from a place on south King Street and Bryce showed her YouTube videos of unlikely animal friendships on his phone. A giraffe nuzzled an ostrich, licking its face, and the two creatures settled into the grass side by side, gazing into a green lake.

When Bryce was in the bathroom, she unburied her mobile from the mess on the desk. The missed calls were from Min, along with a string of messages asking if she was okay, and what was going on. Min would want her to go to the police, to hire a private investigator, to launch World War III against whoever had done this. It made Reagan weary. Min believed things like justice were more than just words.

Several of the emails were replies from customers who assumed she’d intentionally sent the video, calling her disgusting and demanding to be removed from her mailing list, swearing to never shop there again. One woman wrote that she hoped the garden centre burned to the ground. Ed, the Ferguson Seeds rep, seemed to think the email had gone only to him, and replied with his home address, inviting her over for a re-enactment. Recoiling, the taste of bile in her mouth, she swiped his email into the bin.

A few people had replied to ask if Reagan’s email had been hacked, and the reasonableness of their reaction made her face burn.

There was one voicemail. ‘I can’t believe you haven’t called to apologise to Terry and me for your horrendously inappropriate behaviour. If you’ve decided to become some sort of exhibitionist –’

She deleted it mid-sentence.
