Forgiving the Gunner

Ewan McCall made one decision in four seconds in a field outside Mosul in 2009. A court-martial cleared him. His own memory never has. Fifteen years later he has nine figures, a defence contracting firm he doesn't like, and a blind endowment quietly funding a translation NGO in Lisbon. He flies in to close the account and tell the woman who wrote the statement against him that he's the one who has been paying her rent for a year. Delphine Barros has spent fifteen years believing her own testimony. She has also started to doubt it. She is not going to forgive him. She is going to ask him questions he has been avoiding for a decade and a half. And then she is going to make him stay for dinner.
