She sits, improbably, on a four-drawer filing cabinet in the hall, straddling it, actually, pulling out files and turning them around to squint at the titles. Not the most efficient way to search for something.

He wants to say, “Why don’t you just pull up a chair, Gwen?” but instead he stands, mug in hand, and watches her fiddle with folders.

Jack sips and tilts his head. She’s intent on what she’s doing and doesn’t realize he’s there. He leans into the sharp edge of the door frame and feels it bite into his back.  

He sees her heel tapping against the side of the cabinet and notices the cord trailing up her shoulder. She’s listening to music.  She sings, a bit tunelessly, “Just one look and I can hear a bell riiing, just one look and I forget everything. Ohhhhhh. “

Jack laughs to himself.  Abba.

She pulls another file, rifles through it, rubs one eye with the heel of her hand. Pulls out a sheet of paper and adds a note, sticks the pen in her mouth, files the sheet, grabs a few more folders.

“Someday I’m going to fuck you silly, Gwen Cooper.”

The pen clatters to the floor.

When she looks up, no one’s there and she thinks she must be hearing things.
