Clarissa observed her for two seconds too long, those attentive blue eyes analyzing Laura's face with an intensity that made her feel like it washer first day on the job, when orders had been hurled at her faster than she could process. Was her hair messy? She tried to discreetly smooth her black hair. Her notebook was ready in hand—even though she could us
