Her finger hovered over the image. "Mr. Griffin, if I made a mistake, I'll step down without complaint." She handed the magazine back to him and pointed. "But this isn't the image I uploaded."

Yvonne lingered, puzzled by Morse's sudden decision to keep her behind. She stood motionless before his E desk, waiting.
