I
see
,
he
says
simply
.
I
think
I
see
the
ghost
of
a
smile
in
his
expression
,
but
I
m
not
sure
.
62
Would
you
like
to
sit
?
He
waves
me
toward
an
L
-
shaped
white
leather
couch
.
63
His
office
is
way
too
big
for
just
one
man
.
In
front
of
the
floor
-
to
-
ceiling
windows
,
there
s
a
modern
dark
wood
desk
that
six
people
could
comfortably
eat
around
.
It
matches
the
coffee
table
by
the
couch
.
Everything
else
is
white
ceiling
,
floors
,
and
walls
,
except
for
the
wall
by
the
door
,
where
a
mosaic
of
small
paintings
hang
,
thirty
-
six
of
them
arranged
in
a
square
.
They
are
exquisite
a
series
of
mundane
,
forgotten
objects
painted
in
such
precise
detail
they
look
like
photographs
.
Displayed
together
,
they
are
breathtaking
.

A
local
artist
.
Trouton
,
says
Grey
when
he
catches
my
gaze
.
65
They
re
lovely
.
Raising
the
ordinary
to
extraordinary
,
I
murmur
,
distracted
both
by
him
and
the
paintings
.
He
cocks
his
head
to
one
side
and
regards
me
intently
.
66
I
couldn
t
agree
more
,
Miss
Steele
,
he
replies
,
his
voice
soft
,
and
for
some
inexplicable
reason
I
find
myself
blushing
.
67
Apart
from
the
paintings
,
the
rest
of
the
office
is
cold
,
clean
,
and
clinical
.
I
wonder
if
it
reflects
the
personality
of
the
Adonis
who
sinks
gracefully
into
one
of
the
white
leather
chairs
opposite
me
.
I
shake
my
head
,
disturbed
at
the
direction
of
my
thoughts
,
and
retrieve
Kate
s
questions
from
my
backpack
.
Next
,
I
set
up
the
digital
recorder
and
am
all
fingers
and
thumbs
,
dropping
it
twice
on
the
coffee
table
in
front
of
me
.
Mr
.
Grey
says
nothing
,
waiting
patiently
I
hope
as
I
become
increasingly
embarrassed
and
flustered
.
When
I
pluck
up
the
courage
to
look
at
him
,
he
s
watching
me
,
one
hand
relaxed
in
his
lap
and
the
other
cupping
his
chin
and
trailing
his
long
index
finger
across
his
lips
.
I
think
he
s
trying
to
suppress
a
smile
.

S
-
sorry
,
I
stutter
.
I
m
not
used
to
this
.
69
Take
all
the
time
you
need
,
Miss
Steele
,
he
says
.

Do
you
mind
if
I
record
your
answers
?
