Bank accounts. Passwords. Another phone number. The day she died, I was meeting with Detective Markum to talk about whether I should press charges. I left the police station and went to the Apple store. I bought a new laptop, brought it home, ready to start over, and found Meghan in my bed. She’d slit her wrists in my bed.”
