She worked her way around the room carefully. She dusted the bookshelves, replacing each book exactly as she found it. She wiped down the desk, moving around his papers without touching them. She cleaned the window in long strokes from top to bottom.
Then she turned to the wall of photographs.
She cleaned the frames one by one, lifting each gently, wiping the glass, setting it back. There was the large formal one of Mr. Caleb shaking hands with someone in front of a completed building. There was a group photograph of several men in suits at what looked like an office celebration.
Then she lifted the next one.
It was smaller than the others, in a simple black frame. It showed a young man, maybe in his late 20s or early 30s, standing outside somewhere, looking directly at the camera. He was lean, sharp-eyed, serious even then. Not yet the polished businessman with silver hair and pressed white shirts. Just a young man at the beginning of something.
Rebecca looked at the photograph.
