The Ames Interlude

[Reeves]

His posture and composure was impeccable, and it had to have been rehearsed. If anything, it gave the sense that it was a facade of restraint for something that couldn't be made apparent to the public. But despite this looming sense of malignant grace he seemed almost playfully offended by something she'd just said.

"People like me? Almost makes it sound like you look down on us. Which would be ironic, because you've put so much effort into dressing up it seemed like you wanted me to make you breakfast." While this was almost certainly intended as a joke, it could also be seen as a subtle display of who had control in this conversation. A notion that would be rendered certain if this comment caught her off-guard.
