Worth Every Million
The door opens two minutes later and Gwen walks in with a bag over her shoulder and her coat still on and she looks at me and then she looks at Damien and then she looks at me again.
“Are you okay,” she says.
“I’m fine,” I say.
She looks at Damien.
He looks back at her, steady and patient, and doesn’t say anything, which is the right thing to do with Gwen because Gwen makes up her mind about people in the first thirty seconds and anything you say in that window either helps or hurts.
Gwen looks at him for a long moment.
Then she looks at me.
“He’s not what I expected,” she says, like he is not standing right there.
