Gwen goes to work and finds Robert waiting for her in the lobby of her private practice. They go into her office to speak, and Robert asks her questions about confidentiality that feel accusatory; he does not know if Gwen is trustworthy. He gives her Gabe’s case file, and although Gwen is eager to take the job, she rejects the offer just “to see how much he really [needs her]” (59), citing the potential conflict of interest given the fact that they have had sex.
