Raven: I was only half listening when Alexander leaned close to my ear and said, “Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” “Huh?” “Okay, actually pay attention for a minute and then tell me if you see it.” At first I had no idea what he was talking about. But then I did see something—just a twitch at the corner of Meredith’s mouth as Richard’s hand brushed her back. They stood side by side, turned slightly toward each other, but Meredith didn’t quite look like Calpurnia, the perfect politician’s wife, adoring to the point of distraction. Her hand lay flat on Richard’s lapel, but it looked stiff and unnatural there. At the photographer’s instruction, he put one arm around her waist. She lifted her own arm, just barely, so their elbows weren’t touching. “Trouble in paradise?” Alexander suggested.
