It included one email fromDr. Aslan congratulating her on her talk and asking for therecording, two texts from Greg (Have u seen the multichannelNvm found it.), one from Malcolm (call me when you seepipette?this), and . . .One hundred and forty-three from Anh.“What the . . . ?” She blinked at the screen, unlocked herphone, and started scrolling up.
