Chapter 14 - LINDA’S REAL PLAN FOR THE ROOMLinda’s texts were blunt.

Linda:
Which room?
Ryan:
Ethan’s.
Linda:
Claire will lose it.
Ryan:
Probably.
Linda:

Ryan:

Linda:
I’m not living in a basement because a five-year-old needs a superhero shrine.
Ryan:
Just move things.
Linda:
She’ll leave.
Ryan:
If she does, lawyer says status matters.

He knew.
He planned around it.
