She takes him by the arm to stop him, settle him, before he can resume pacing the floor. And that's no small feat on a good day. (They have been short of good days for a long time.) But he...stops.

He hangs by her side for a while before reaching to tug her fingers away so he can settle in another one of the high swiveling chairs that are spaced in increments across the floor. Set deliberately across the cracked mirrors on the walls.]
