Claire considered the physics of it, the convection of hot air and cold and new that somewhere in the simple motion was a kind of precursor to a hurricane. She wateched receptionist swiveling unconsciously in her chair, smacking gum and talking to a friend on the phone. That the girl essentially had no chin was striking, so striking that on Claire's first visit she found herself wondered how anyone ever got passed it.
