What does impress Lisbeth is the number of places he’s been thus far in his life. She’s never really left Sweden, on except for Zurich but that was for business.

Lisbeth chews her nails, not now but it’s obvious that she does, she picks too – scabs sometimes her scalp. That too is not readily apparent but she does it to keep her fingers moving. Her hands are not moving and her gaze has not lifted from Aubery’s face she can the slight furrow of his brow. Is he a hobby? It’s not professional interesting question.

“Routine.”
