Summer Ford followed Ethan Laurent out of the police station and got into the car. As she buckled her seatbelt, she thought about how cold he had been inside and looked at him with amazement.
She had been there all afternoon, talking relentlessly but no one believed her. Yet, when he showed up, a few words were all it took to settle the issue.
This side of Ethan Laurent made Summer Ford deeply impressed.
Summer Ford counted; inside, he only said three sentences, and each was extremely concise. Two out of the three were directed at her!
The way Ethan Laurent was tonight made her think he was especially cool.
He didn't seem to blame her at all, nor did he ask much. Whatever she said about how things went, that's how he believed them to be.
After they left, he drove her home.
