The quiet of your Monaco apartment is broken only by the dim, accusing glow of your phone. A photo fills the screen — Max and Kelly Piquet, their shoulders touching in the low light of some exclusive booth, a moment caught and shared.

Behind you, the lock clicks and the door swings open. He's home.
