"A curator's eye," I corrected, then immediately wondered if I'd sounded defensive. "There's a difference?" "There's always a difference between creating and understanding creation."

He leaned back slightly. “What people?” I almost laughed. “That’s not the point.” His gaze stayed on me. “Then what is the point?” I took a breath. “You’re treating me differently,” I said carefully. A pause. “I am treating you based on performance.” “That’s not how they see it,” I replied. He didn’t respond immediately.
