Was wakened by Scarlet barking and found Ruth on the doorstep. She'd been worried because I left without saying goodbye and had seemed out of sorts all evening. Did I tell her it was embarrassment at my gaucheness, jealousy at the thought that there might be something going on with Dimitri? Did I admit that seeing them all again just made me realise how much I missed life on the Grid? Did I hell. I was just tired, I said. Not used to late nights anymore. She was wearing the necklace. She loves it. At least I got something right.
