Chapter 3: Our New Life. Together. October 15, 1885 Edgeworth & Wright Law Offices 110 Macklin Street, Los Angeles, California 11 A.M. I finished hanging up the shingle on the outside of the home that Miles and I shared together, stepping down from the ladder and looking at my work with satisfaction while I stood on the cobblestone sidewalk that led to the three story house brick house on the corner. Miles had resigned from his position of the county Prosecutor in early 1884, shortly after we began courting, in order to devote his time to a new practice that we went into jointly later that September. I still retained my position as defense

Chapter 2: Blindman's Bluff Five months later November 21, 1880 Le Chateau Briande 7 P.M. I was sitting at a corner booth in The Chateau Briande restaurant with my client, Mr. Claresholme, and his family who were taking me to dinner in order to thank me for all my work on his behalf. He'd been declared innocent after a hard fought battle and I was still stunned that I had managed to pull it off. Prosecutor Edgeworth had been at his absolute best and it had been very difficult to poke holes in the prosecution's case but I did manage to do so and presented compelling evidence that proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that my client was indee

Chapter 1: There's Something About Him June 21, 1880 Law Offices Of Wright & CO. Los Angeles, California 11 A.M. It was a beautiful summer morning. I was in my office sitting at my desk and looking out the window to the beautiful scenery outside, wishing that I could finish up what was on my desk so I could go outside and enjoy the sunshine. It had been a dreary week before with a lot of rain and I, for one, was very happy to see the sun come out. I wonder if I could get away for an early lunch today? The weather is so nice and- "Sir," a voice called out, breaking into my thoughts like a hammer. I jumped slightly as I flew up out of my ch

Chapter 3: Letters From The Battlefield September 29, 1861 Sitting Room Mrs. Melissa Thurber-Wright's Residence Richmond,Virginia 5:30 P.M. Mrs. Wright sat in the parlor, reading Phoenix's latest letter to the assembled household. Each member sat entranced as he recounted the events of the latest round of training or laughed at some of the more humorous accounts of daily Army life. He remembered each person individually by name and wished them all well; after she had finished reading the letter, each one had gone back to their duties with renewed spirit and vigor. Mrs. Wright smiled softly as she watched them leave before she took out anot

Chapter 1: What Has Come Between Us? February 4, 1861 Outside of Alexandria,Virginia Phoenix Wright x Miles Edgeworth Residence Master Bedroom 7 P.M. I lay on the bed in our bedroom and stared at the ceiling for a long time in silence, my hands interlocked behind my head, my eyes shimmering with unshed tears. The lump in my throat was so large that I was surprised that it didn't choke me and my heart ached with a searing pain that refused to go away. Miles had left some time earlier but I could still hear the slamming of the door as he walked out of the home we shared together echoing in my aching heart. I bit on my bottom lip hard, trying
