Ethan was silent for a long time.
Just a few minutes ago, while Karen was still drafting the legal letter and Sarah was tapping away at her keyboard writing a press release, Ethan had his back to the others. Under the cover of sipping his coffee, he used his phone to send a message to Washington.
The content was brief: "He's preparing to sue the local committee. Standard reaction, angry."
The reply came almost instantly.
"If he signs, let him. If he stops, tell him."
Seeing that message, Ethan had privately thought his boss was overthinking things.

How could he possibly possess the kind of political instinct that could only be honed by wallowing in the Washington muck for over a decade?
