'' at him , at my job , at fate in general . she stopped at her studio door , taking in the gentle clutter , but since the break in , she could n't shake the feeling that everything was ruined . he didnt need to follow them all the way home . by then , everything will have been settled . i stood up , then drained the last bit of wine from my glass before following her to the sectional sofa in the living room .
