She had a right to know. He had a right to know. They had a right to know.

Opening the door, he almost bumped into the lurking paralegal.

“Oh. Mr. . . . Devine. May I show you out?"He smiled. "Sure. Thanks. These offices are a rat maze."

“Don't we know it? So many junior partners.”

She happily led him through carpeted hallways that turned and twisted, always passing by more paper-filled work cubicles.

“When do you find time to watch The Amanda Show?" he asked as they neared the central reception area.

“Amanda Show? Daytime TV. Oh, I don't. Ever find time, I mean. I know it's a Chicago institution. Why do you ask about it?"

“Because it's a Chicago institution, like Oprah," he said, shrugging as if he didn't care.

So her amazing interest in him didn't derive from his TV appearances. Surely his recent Queer Eye for the Straight Guy hair highlighting job wasn't solely responsible for these frequent dewy glances?

“Here we are. Reception, Mr. Win—" She glanced, mortified, at the appointment roster in her hand. "Oh, yes. Right. Mr. Devine."

“Thank you.”

He'd never meant those two words more. Moving through the crowded reception area, barely seeing the blur of briefcase-carrying men and women, he mentally repeated the young woman's slip of the tongue over and over: Mr. Win . . . Winthrop? Winston? Winter? Winterhalter? Winscott. Wingate. The Chicago phonebook would be crammed with enough possibilities to make his vision blur at the tiny type repeating W-i-n into infinity.

So, suddenly, there were possibilities. He had been mistaken for someone. A client. Apparently there was a marked family resemblance. He looked like someone alive in this world besides his mother.

The feeling was weird, and frightening, and infuriating. He would find out who, one way or another. Win is for Winning.
