I looked at him.
“I didn’t either.”
“Ellis, when you talked me into filming that, you promised me no one else would ever see it.”
His face had gone pale.
“I didn’t show it to her. She logged in herself—”
“And you gave her the password.”

Ellis had no response.
The mediator asked him, “Is the defendant willing to assume civil liability for the damages caused by this infringement?”
Ellis suddenly looked up.
“I’ll pay.”
“Coralie, the apartment, my savings—whatever you want, I’ll give it to you.”
He spoke faster now, a desperate edge to his voice.
“Just withdraw the suit. We can start over. I’ll change all my passwords. I’ll never speak to Tessa again.”
By then, all I felt was a weary sense of irony.
