Lucía smiled. She picked up the phone, went to settings, and deleted the backup entirely.

It had started as a clumsy accident. Two weeks earlier, she’d been cleaning up her iCloud storage—screenshots, memes, blurry videos of concerts. She’d selected what she thought was a folder of duplicates and hit “Delete All.” It wasn’t until the next morning, when she went looking for a picture of her late grandmother’s handwriting, that she realized the truth.
