[He knows he got him something else, but doesn't mention it: let Lark enjoy those memories by himself for a while longer.]

They're very unlike the heavily staged photographs Tommy has in his cabin: these are of his family at a table, laughing; Arthur tending bar, John playing with his children, Ada and Freddy cooing over little Karl, and Polly dancing. Tommy's smiling just looking at them.]
[Lark didn't ask for anything remotely like it for anyone else. Nothing so personal, nothing that expresses how closely Lark listens to everything he's told. Or not told.]
You're welcome. You really like them? I have extra snacks, I could always wrap those up and pretend that's what I really got you.
[He's talking a little too fast, and he knows it. Takes a breath. Slows down.]
I have her back in my head. Lisbeth. And I think I know who was responsible.
[Tommy realizes something is coming, and as such waits it out, lets him babble before he gets to the core. When he does he ducks his head slightly, strikes a match that illuminates his face from below.]

Least I could do, Lark.
