Evelyn was sitting behind her desk . When Wren walked in , she asked simply , " You okay ? " Wren shook her head and sat down straight - backed in the chair across from her . " I'm fine , Ms. Shaw .

" This investigation into Ronan and the project ... it's complicated . At this stage , for risk - control purposes , the company has him on lockdown . Restricted movement , monitored communication .

Outside the windows , snow was falling hard , burying the world in a thick blanket of white . If she went now , to talk about the divorce ... wasn't that just kicking a man while he was down ? But if she went just to see if he was okay ... she knew she wouldn't be able to find the right words . She imagined seeing him , and all she could picture was a heavy , suffocating silence .
