Somewhere in her apartment, Libby's tablet buzzed for its life. The synchronized beeps, warbles and pings of her smartwatch, tablet, and phone came together, demanding attention. Her head pounded with a mother-of-all-hangovers intensity. It was profoundly unfair. She'd not so much as touched booze or drugs.

She stumbled out of bed and reached for the cardboard box serving as a nightstand, feeling for her phone. It wasn't there. Her probing hand knocked the smartwatch off the charging stand. She groaned, rolled off the bed, and rummaged around the piles of clothing and shoes still waiting to be stowed in the closet. The noise had ceased but there was a message.

A transcript scrolled across her tablet: "Miss Baingana, this is Mark. You left your purse at my grandmother's house. You're welcome to pick it up. Or I can drop off. "

There were several text messages along the same line, with earlier timestamps that hadn't gotten through her emotional upheaval or had been queued by the system due to the nighttime "Do not disturb" settings. She sat back on the bed. If they had her purse, they had her new address, which didn't disturb her as much as she'd expected, even if she was now living in a building with uniformed security guards. The last thing she needed was the hassle of getting new ID cards.

She typed, Thank you. I'd like to come by around ten. Does that work for you? and headed for the shower.

As she was dressing, a thumbs-up icon popped up on the watch face. She pinged the building's concierge desk with a request for cat treats and pulled on some jeans to give Sig something sturdy to claw into.
