Chapter 14 - Hannah asked if I hit him

First question when I returned:
“Did you beat him up?”
“No.”
She stared suspiciously.
“He attacked me.”
“Dad.”
“I restrained him.”
“How restrained?”
“Floor.”
She closed her eyes.
“Jesus.”
“He’s fine.”
“Did police arrest you?”
“No.”
“Did you get the laptop?”
“No.”
That surprised her.
“It’s evidence. Police are handling it.”
She stared.
Then smiled despite the bruising.
“You actually listened to instructions?”
“Occasionally.”
“I’m proud of you.”
