The afternoon sun poured into the London living room, washing everything in a warm, domestic light. Lena Oxton, the celebrated track star, was lounged on the sofa, her attention divided between the television and the newspaper I had just placed on the coffee table. Beside her, Ziggy, our four-month-old puppy, tugged playfully at my ankles; the golden bell on her purple collar sang a tiny, metallic song with every shake. Lena sat up, her eyes skimming the headline. Amusement flickered across her face, then she burst into a rich, easy laugh. She gestured for me to join her, scooching over to make room. Her arm came around my shoulders, pulling me close, and she flashed a bright, reassuring grin, dismissing the tabloid's envy with a conspiratorial wink.
