“You don’t let anyone get involved in
your life.”
“No.
I don’t want you to get involved in my life.”
PAUL and ARIANNA
Monday
morning, Paul comes to fetch me at seven a.m. and I look for Georgina.
“She’ll
join us Wednesday,” he says.
“What
a pity!”
His
laugh surprises me. “You are so …”
He
doesn’t finish his sentence, but I hold my breath waiting for him to continue.
I don’t want to think about what this trip can hold for me, but suddenly the
thought of finding myself alone with him for two days without Georgina makes me
hope he goes beyond his prejudices and sees me differently. For his part, he doesn’t
seem to have the same concerns. During the trip, he only talks about work. He
wants to be sure I understand what my role will be. He resumes his
recommendations as soon
