[Text message on Dieter’s phone]

APPLE: Apple Watch “Emily’s Watch” has detected a severe car crash. Emergency services have been notified.

[Transcript of cell phone conversation]

DOMINIC: Hey, Dieter, what’s …

DIETER: Dom, tell me Emily just left your place.

DOMINIC: It’s been about twenty minutes, maybe half an hour.

DIETER: Shit, shit, shit. You have to find her!

DOMINIC: Calm down, man. What happened?

DIETER: Her watch detected a crash. I tried to call her but she won’t answer. Fuck! I … I need to get out there. You need to find her.

DOMINIC: Okay, okay, take a deep breath. I’m gonna get you on the first flight I can find. I’ll text you details. And I’ll try to find out what’s going on with Emily. Just calm down and hang tight. It’s gonna be okay.

******************************************************************************

I was blacked out for a minute, maybe two. The airbags were slowly deflating, so it couldn’t have been very long. I heard people yelling and my phone ringing but I couldn’t find it. I felt groggy, like I’d woken up from an intense nap.

“Ma’am! Ma’am! Are you alright?”

There was a man outside the car window. I nodded. “I — I think so,” I yelled through the glass.

”We called 911,” he said. “They’re on the way. I saw the whole thing. Can you unlock the door?”

I fumbled for the lock button and the man opened the door. Cool air rushed in. “I’m gonna unlatch your seatbelt, okay? I don’t want to move you before the paramedics come but in case the car catches fire or anything I want to be able to get you out quickly.”

I nodded again. My head hurt and things looked blurry. I realized my glasses were off. “My glasses …”

”We’ll find them,” the man said. “Just relax. Tell me if anything hurts really bad.”

”Are you a paramedic?”

He shook his head. “I was in Afghanistan,” he said simply.

”Cops and ambulance are on the way,” said a woman behind him. “The people in the Mercedes look like they’re okay, but the driver might have a broken wrist. She’s freaking out a little.”

The man squatted down in front of me. “This is my wife, Michaela,” he said. “She’s gonna stay with you until EMS or the cops get here, okay? I’m gonna go check on the other driver.”

Michaela smiled at me. “It’s gonna be okay,” she said. “Tommy knows what he’s doing. We’re gonna take care of you.”

My phone rang again and I turned to look for it but my neck was sore.

“Leave it,” Michaela said. “They can call back.”

My watch was flashing a message about detecting a crash and notifying emergency services and contacts. “It might be my fiancé,” I said. “I think the watch …”

She nodded. “I’ll go around to the passenger door, see if I can open it and look for your phone.” I could hear sirens coming closer. The passenger door opened and I heard Michaela rummaging around. ”Found it. Hello. This is Michaela Foster.” She turned to me. “Are you Emily?” I nodded. “Yes, she’s okay. The cops are on the way. Okay. Okay. I’ll tell her.”

She handed me the phone. “That was Dominic,” she said carefully. “He said to tell you that Dieter is on his way but if you need anything in the meantime you can call him. Does that make sense to you?”

I nodded again. “Yeah, it does. Dieter’s my fiancé. Dominic is his — our — business manager. Dieter’s in Toronto. He’s working.” I felt myself start to shake and I knew I was about to start sobbing. The shock of the crash was wearing off and I could feel all the sore spots where the seat belt and airbags had restrained me. The sirens were getting close.

”It’s okay,” Michaela said. “Everybody is going to take care of you. The cops are here and I see the ambulance. You’re going to be fine.”

******************************************************

The police and EMT’s asked me a million questions, which I answered as best I could. Then I was strapped onto a gurney and loaded into the back of an ambulance. “You need to be checked for concussion,” the EMT said. “And they’ll do x-rays to check for any fractures, but I think you’re okay.” She nodded toward a second ambulance. “The other driver broke her wrist and one of her kids knocked out a tooth, but you were all really lucky.”

A second EMT climbed in with us as the driver shut the doors. “Yeah, you’re lucky you were in a Subie,” he said. “That car saved your life.”

Oh, shit. Dieter, I thought as the ambulance began to move. He must have freaked out when he got the notification. “Where’s my phone?”

”It’s safe,” the first EMT said. “We got your belongings and insurance info out of the car. We have them in a bag.”

”I need … I need to call my fiancé,” I said.

She shook her head. “Not until the doctors check you out. But the hospital can call him once you’re admitted, let him know what’s going on. Don’t worry.”

You don’t know Dieter, I thought. He must be going through hell right now. “But he’ll be so worried. His mother —-.” My voice caught in my throat. “His mom died in a car crash.”

The EMTs exchanged looks. “I’ll call him,” the man said. He rummaged in a bag and pulled out my phone. “Unlock it and pull him up in your Contacts.”

I was shaking and he quickly took the phone back from me. “Now you just relax.” I closed my eyes, feeling a bit better, until I heard the EMT leave a voice message. “Guess his phone’s turned off or something,” he said. “Maybe he’s driving.”

Or maybe he’s … I couldn’t let myself finish the thought. No, he’s on his way. Dominic said so.

***************************************

I was finally alone. After a multitude of tests (and a nurse assuring me that she’d gotten a hold of Dieter and he knew that I was okay), I was tucked into a bed in a private room, with the low beeping of monitors the only sound. I had been diagnosed with a slight concussion, for which they were keeping me overnight for observation “out of an abundance of caution.” I had been given a healthy dose of pain medication to soothe the pain from all the bruises and abrasions and help me sleep. I was feeling dozy but couldn’t drift off. The light in the hallway was too bright and I could hear the nurses at their desk just out of my line of sight. Every time they said “her” or “she” I was sure they were talking about me and my attention snapped toward them.

“Still awake?” It was my nurse, Mina. She bustled into the room, glancing at the monitors and making a note on my chart.

”I hate hospitals,” I said.

“Most people do,” she said. “But you need some rest. I’ll ask the doctor on duty if you can have a sleeping pill.”

”No, I want to be awake when my fiancé gets here.” I wasn’t sure when his flight was due or even which airport he was arriving at. I’d asked for my phone so I could call Dominic, but it, along with my engagement ring and the rest of my valuables, had been locked away for safekeeping.

“You need to rest,” Mina said again. “If you’re asleep, he’ll understand. I’ll be right back.”

She returned about fifteen minutes later with a paper cup and a glass of water. “Take this,” she said. “It’s just Benadryl but it should make you drowsy enough to fall asleep.”

I took the pill but resolved to stay awake anyway. Dieter needed to see me — and I needed to see him.

******************************************

”Yeah, she’s fine.” I heard Dieter’s voice. He was close but not next to my bed. I forced my eyes open and saw him just outside the door of my room, silhouetted against the bright glare of the fluorescent lights. “She’s asleep right now but I talked to a doctor and the nurses. Tell the kids not to worry.”

”Was that Freddy?” I asked. My voice sounded weak and creaky. I needed water.

”Hey, you’re supposed to be asleep,” Dieter said, hurrying to the bed. He looked like hell. His hair was a mess and his face was haggard. And his eyes … I wanted to cry just looking at them.

“I wanted to see you,” I said.

He smiled and took my hand. “I’m here,” he said. “But you need to rest.”

“So do you. You look like crap.”

”I’ll survive,” he said, running his other hand through his hair, making it stand up even more. He ducked his head. “I … I had a drink on the plane. It was a charter flight … they had a full bar … I was just so worried about you.” He looked up, his eyes filled with tears. “I’m sorry.”

”Don’t apologize,” I said, squeezing his hand. “Situations like this are exactly what stiff drinks were made for. You must have been so scared.”

He closed his eyes. “All I could think was ‘What have I done to make the universe pissed off enough to do this to me again?’ Win an Oscar, lose my mom … get engaged, lose …” His words choked to a halt.

“But that didn’t happen,” I said firmly. “I’m fine.”

He opened his eyes and let out a ragged breath. “I know,” he whispered.

“You should go home, get some sleep,” I told him.

He shook his head. “I’m staying right here, with you. We’ll go home together when they release you in the morning.” He pulled a chair up to my bedside and sat down, his hand still in mine. “Everything will be better in the morning.”

I wanted to stay awake, to look at him as long as I could, but the medications and the late hour were too much for me. I drifted back to sleep, but this time I was content. Dieter was here. Nothing else mattered.

***********************************************

Dieter’s house smelled stuffy when we stepped inside. He’d been gone for almost two months, and no one had been inside except for the cleaner who’d stopped by once a week to dust and run water in the taps to keep the pipes clear.

“It always feels so lonely when I get back from a job,” Dieter said. “I feel bad for it. A house shouldn’t stand empty so much.”

”It’s not alive,” I said, but I knew what he meant.

“Yeah, but I think it’ll be happier once you’ve moved in. I know I will be.” He winked.

I sighed as I sank onto the couch. “Well, that might not be as soon as I was planning. Now I have to deal with insurance and getting a new car and all that mess on top of packing and moving and leaving work.”

He sat next to me, sliding an arm around my shoulders. “Dom’s hiring a personal assistant to help you with all that,” he said. “She’ll be by sometime this afternoon.”

”That’s not necessary,” I said.

“I think it is,” Dieter said. “And so does Dom. You need to rest and recover. Let someone else take care of all the piddly details.”

”There is no need to throw money at a problem I can handle myself,” I said.

Dieter shook his head. “That’s what money’s for, to make your life easier. I know you can take care of everything yourself, but you don’t have to.”

I was tired and didn’t feel like arguing. When the PA showed up, I could try to convince Dieter I didn’t need her. It would be different if I’d been badly injured, but the doctor said other than a headache from the concussion and soreness from the bruising, I shouldn’t have any issues. I was perfectly capable of handling my own business.

“You hungry?,” he asked. “That breakfast they served you at the hospital looked like crap. I’ll make you some eggs. You like eggs.” He hopped up and headed for the kitchen. “Shit. No food in the fridge. I guess the cleaner cleaned it out for me.” I heard cabinets opening and closing. “How about cereal? There’s brand new boxes of Cap’n Crunch and Lucky Charms. But no milk so it’ll have to be dry.”

“Never mind,” I called out. “I’m not all that hungry.” I stifled a yawn.

Dieter came back into the living room with a box of cereal in each hand. “Mind if I have some?,” he said. “I’m starving.”

”Go right ahead.” He settled down on the couch and opened both boxes, alternating handfuls of each kind. “You know,” he said through a full mouth, “they ought to make Cap’n Crunch with marshmallows. It’s pretty good.”

“You are so weird,” I said.

He shoved some of the mixture into my mouth. “Cap’n Charming,” he said. “Or maybe Lucky Crunch? I could be the mascot.”

The cereal was incredibly sweet but it tasted like childhood, so I allowed him to feed me a little more. “You’re my Captain Charming,” I said.

“After we eat, let’s take a nap,” he said. “You’ll make a perfect Sleeping Beauty.”

****************************************

I woke up on the bed alone. When I’d fallen asleep, Dieter had been wrapped around me like a baby sloth. I sat up slowly, feeling every bruise and pulled muscle. I could hear voices from the living room. A quick glance at the clock next to the bed confirmed it was after one o’clock. It must be the personal assistant.

”There she is!” Dieter said as I entered the room. His hair was still tangled from sleep.

A young woman with deep dark skin stood up from the couch. Her hair was clipped close to her head and she had large silver hoops in her ears. “Hello, Emily,” she said in a rich West African accent. “I am Oladele. I will be your personal assistant for a while.”

I shook her hand. I had planned to argue that I didn’t need any help, thank you very much, but there was something comforting about Oladele’s calm demeanor. She was much younger than me but she seemed so much more adult than I had ever felt. “It’s nice to meet you. I appreciate the assistance.”

Oladele nodded. “There is nothing for you to worry about. I have everything in hand.” She consulted her phone. “I have already contacted your insurance company. A claims adjuster will appraise your car tomorrow although from the information on the police report it will likely be considered a total loss. I will press for them to pay you the full replacement cost of the vehicle, using the high end estimate in the Kelly Blue Book. I will also ask for the highest allowable rental car rate.”

Dieter raised his hand. “I’m heading back to Toronto in the morning,” he said. “She can use my car while I’m gone.”

I was stunned. Dieter loved his little red Audi and was reluctant even to let a valet park it. “Are you sure?” I asked. “I can get a rental …”

He shook his head. “Audrey’s just sitting in the garage. You should drive her. And when I get home we’ll go shopping for a new car for you.”

Oladele nodded firmly. “That’s settled, then. You have an off work order for the next week. I recommend you stay here for at least a few days before you go home, so it will be easier for us to meet. If you let me know what you need, I’ll order in some groceries so you won’t have to go out until you feel better.”

I wasn’t quite sure if my head was spinning because I was still groggy from my nap, or the lingering effects of the car crash, or simply because Oladele was amazingly efficient. In less than fifteen minutes, she had everything squared away and was putting her contact information in my phone.

”Call or text me if you need anything,” she said. “Mr. Carrillo hired me to be your assistant and that is what I am here to do: assist. You just concentrate on recovering. The groceries will be here in about an hour and I will stop by tomorrow around lunch time to update you on how things are going with the insurance company.”

“I like her,” Dieter said once she had left. “Maybe you should hire her permanently.”

”I don’t need an assistant,” I said. “It’s not like I have a million meetings and stuff like you do.” Dieter had an assistant, a young man named Joel who worked remotely, handling all the scheduling and phone calls and the rest of it from home.

“Well, keep it in mind,” he said. “She’ll get snapped up by someone pretty fast.”

**********************************************************

We lounged around the house all day. Dieter ordered some lunch and it was delivered at almost the same time as the groceries. “I’ll put this stuff away while you get lunch set up,” he said. “Rest your brain.” The doctor had advised that I take it easy for a few days, both physically and mentally.

After we ate, we snuggled on the couch and watched some television, and I ended up taking another short nap in Dieter’s arms.

“What time does your plane leave tomorrow?” I asked when I woke up.

”Seven a.m.,” he said, making a face. “You don’t have to get up, though. I’ve got a car coming.”

“And you’re sure it’s okay for me to drive your car while you’re gone?”

”Yeah. Of course.” He sounded a bit hesitant.

”I can still get a rental …”

”No, no, you drive Audrey. See how you like her.” He brushed a strand of hair out of my face. “I know I’m kind of weird about the car but … when I saw her on the lot, she spoke to me.”

”What did she say?”

”Dieter, I’m yours. Take me home.”

I laughed, which made my head hurt. “And does she still talk to you?”

”Oh, yeah,” he said. “She told me she likes you, and she wants you to drive her.”

”I’m glad she’s not the jealous type,” I said. “I thought maybe she would resent giving up her place as the most important female in your life.”

”Well, she was a little upset at first, but I think once we go car shopping and get her a nice little brother, she’ll be happy enough.”

**********************************************

”I know the doctor said to take it easy, and I don’t want to hurt you, but …”

”I know.” We were in bed and Dieter was gently kissing my face. “I think it should be okay.”

”Only if you’re sure,” he said. “It’s just — I thought I’d lost you and I need to feel you. Be close to you.”

”Me, too,” I said. “I want you, Dieter. I need you.” I kissed his lips. “Let’s just go slow. If anything hurts, I’ll tell you.”

“Slow and steady,” Dieter said, and he was true to his word. The only glitch was when he discovered at a crucial moment that there were no condoms in the nightstand.

”It’s okay,” I said. ”Keep going.”

”But ….” Dieter was a vocal advocate for safe sex.

”We’re getting married,” I said. “And we’re both clean. Besides, the odds of me getting pregnant at my age are pretty low. I think we can risk it this once.” I wanted him so badly.

”No,” he said. “I can’t … unless you’re okay with the possibility …”

We hadn’t talked about kids. At our age, it wasn’t really on our radar. Most people my age who had kids were a lot closer to being grandparents than to having another baby.

“Are you? Okay with the possibility …” I knew Dieter had a complicated relationship with his parents, but he was such a doting uncle to Freddy’s kids.

”I don’t know,” he said. The mood was starting to turn pensive rather than passionate. “I mean … if it happened, I’d be okay with it. But I wasn’t planning on us trying …”

I cradled his face in my hands. “I don’t think this is the right time to have this discussion,” I said. “Right after I almost … got hurt badly. But we do need to talk about it.”

He nodded. “I agree. But after I’m back from Toronto. Fuck, I want you so badly right now, Em, but …”

“We have plenty of time ahead of us,” I said. “And there are other ways we can take care of our needs …” I let one hand slide down toward his nether regions and his eyes went wide.

”I’m glad I didn’t meet you until I was middle-aged,” he said, gasping a bit as my hand found its target. “‘Cause if we were teenagers I’d have you knocked up so fast …. Ahh!”

”Same, Dieter,” I said. “Same.”

Automne 1917, Hylewood, Canada (8/9)

Depuis le début de la guerre, la scène politique en Ontario est profondément influencée par les orangistes, qui sont fidèles à la monarchie et à l'Empire britannique. Les grands journaux de Toronto critiquent les Canadiens français pour ne pas contribuer à l'effort de guerre, et on nous impose depuis juillet le service militaire obligatoire… Quand on voit les efforts déployés par le R22eR, je trouve cela honteux.

A cause de sa politique francophobe, Ontario est la risée du Québec. Ils nous appellent « nos Boches à nous » et nous surnomment "Huntario", en référence aux invasions de peuples nomades au Moyen Âge… Quand on voit comment les Anglophones nous traitent, on comprend que nous soyons presque unanimement opposés à ce service et qu'il existe un si faible sentiment de loyauté des francophones pour le Canada.

Sur l’île, si on enlève ceux qui sont déjà en service, cette loi concernerait cinq hommes : mon beau-frère (alors qu’il a trois enfants, pensez-vous !), le mari de ma nièce Winie, le frère du jeune Zéphir (dont les malheureux parents font toujours le deuil), le Révérend de l’île (un homme d��église !), et un neveu de mon beau-frère. Cette loi n’est pas encore appliquée. Des élections fédérales vont avoir lieu en décembre, et nous en sauront davantage après cela.

[Transcription] Marie Le Bris : Sincèrement, Agathon, es-tu obligé de te montrer ainsi en spectacle ? On dirait que tu t’es coiffé avec un balais brosse. Si j’avais des cheveux comme les tiens, j’aurais au moins la décence de mettre une casquette. Winifred Bernard : Irène, chérie, ne court pas trop loin ! Jules Le Bris : Tout va bien, ma nièce ? Winifred Bernard : Bonsoir, mon oncle. J’aimerais profiter de ma soirée, mais mon aînée m’échappe comme une anguille. Eugénie Le Bris : Ah, les enfants, à cet âge là. Winifred Bernard : A qui le dites-vous ! Elle court partout, et je n’ai pas une minute de répit. Mais je ne peux pas la laisser sans surveillance. Jules Le Bris : Marie, toi qui te plaignais de t’ennuyer, ne veux-tu pas aller jouer avec ta cousine ? Marie Le Bris : C’est que je commence à m’habituer à l’ennui, et je tombe de sommeil, regardez comme mes yeux sont lourds. Non, je suis mieux ici. Eugénie Le Bris : Agathon, va jouer avec Irène. Vous avez pratiquement le même âge. Winifred Bernard : Laissez, Eugénie, Marie a raison, il se fait tard et la petite est fatiguée. C’est probablement pour cela qu’elle est si excitée. Je devrais rentrer la coucher. Quel dommage, je m’amusais beaucoup…

Allegations of money laundering at Trump properties surface in U.S. hearing transcript

A U.S. congressional committee investigating President Donald Trump's links to Russia has heard testimony alleging the Trump Organization may have engaged in money laundering via properties bearing Mr. Trump's name, including the former Trump International Hotel and Tower in downtown Toronto.

The testimony – given to the House intelligence committee by Glenn Simpson, co-founder of the commercial intelligence firm Fusion GPS – follows statements attributed to Mr. Trump's former chief strategist, Stephen Bannon, who predicted the Trump-Russia investigation headed by special counsel Robert Mueller would zero in on allegations of money laundering.

Mr. Simpson's testimony also puts new focus on Mr. Trump's partner in the Toronto project, Russian-Canadian billionaire Alex Shnaider. Mr. Simpson told the committee Russian organized crime was under the influence of the country's security services and that Mr. Shnaider's father-in-law, Toronto resident Boris Birshtein, "is a very important figure in the history of the KGB-Mafia alliance."

The House committee heard the testimony in November and voted on Thursday to make transcripts of the two-day hearing public. Mr. Simpson's separate testimony to the Senate judiciary committee was also made public this month, but did not delve into Mr. Trump's Canadian dealings.

Mr. Simpson was viewed as a key witness because of his firm's role in hiring former British spy Christopher Steele to write an opposition research report on Mr. Trump that concluded members of the then-president candidate's inner circle had colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election campaign. Mr. Steele's report also stated the Kremlin possessed compromising information about Mr. Trump that could make the President susceptible to blackmail.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly criticized the Steele dossier, calling it "discredited and phony." Both he and the Kremlin have denied there was any collusion during the 2016 campaign.

Mr. Simpson defended Mr. Steele's work and said his own research – conducted after his firm was hired in early 2016 by political opponents of the then-long-shot Republican candidate – found Mr. Trump had a long and tangled relationship with rich Russians whom Mr. Simpson described as members of organized crime.

MORE STORIES BELOW ADVERTISEMENT

In the early 2000s, Mr. Trump was being routinely rejected for bank loans in the United States – a serious problem for any real-estate developer. He was rescued, Mr. Simpson said, by "alternate financing" in the form of cash from rich Russians who signed agreements to purchase condo units in Trump-branded buildings in Toronto and elsewhere.

While many of those presale agreements were never consummated, Mr. Simpson said, the appearance they gave of high demand for the properties allowed the Trump Organization to raise credit it might otherwise have been denied.

"The guys connected to the Toronto project are Russian Mafia, too. And, in fact, there's Toronto-based Russian Mafia guys who are involved in the Panama project," Mr. Simpson said in his testimony, referring to the Trump Ocean Club in Panama City.

Both Mr. Birshtein and Mr. Shnaider, via his lawyer, have declined to answer questions from The Globe and Mail about their dealings with Mr. Trump. The two men are now estranged.

Mr. Simpson said it was well-known that Russia's top businessmen and organized crime bosses alike answered in the end to Russian President Vladimir Putin. "If people who seem to be associated with the Russian Mafia are buying Trump properties or arranging for other people to buy Trump properties, it does raise a question about whether they're doing it on behalf of the government," he said.

The Trump International Hotel and Tower, which stands at the corner of Bay and Adelaide streets in Toronto's financial district, was plagued by controversies from the moment Mr. Trump and Mr. Shnaider wielded shovels side by side to break ground on the project in 2007.

The hotel, which finally opened in 2012, faced lower-than-expected occupancy rates and lawsuits from disgruntled shareholders. It came under new management last year, which decided to take Mr. Trump's name off the building and rebrand it the Adelaide Hotel Toronto.
