Zoe Bell returned, slipped out of her evening gown, removed her makeup, and, after bathing, put on her pajamas. When she emerged, she found William Hale sitting by the bed, a laptop on his knees, typing away.

He understood it all.
William Hale glanced at her and said, "Get ready; I'll have her come to the bedroom in ten minutes."
