Chapter 26 - The camera comes down

Three years after the dinner, Maya asked me to remove the kitchen camera.
I was surprised.
“That camera proved what happened.”
“I know.”
“Then why?”
She looked around.
“I don’t want our home designed around preserving evidence.”

We removed it.
Exterior security remained.
No interior surveillance.
Chloe cheered because she believed the camera had:
“Robot eyes.”
She was six.
Her hands had healed completely long before.
Maya had faint changes in skin tone around one wrist.

She rarely noticed them.
I noticed them too much.
