. nobody had ever said that to nina at the hospital or afterward . her brother , matt , had been furious with her for taking the murder case in the first place , herson , bob , had been inarticulate with shock .she had been given flowers , kudos for catching a killer ,, but not a lot of sympathy . in fact , looking back , there had been a tinge of " you asked fot it " in the reactions of the courtroom personnel . you take murder cases , you take your chances , was the attitude .
nina realized that she still felt resentful about that ,but even as the realization came , the resentment was going away , in waves accompanying the long strokes of chelsi's hands .
so it was true , you did hold emotions in your mucles .
chelsi was as heailing in herspeech as =in her hands , she was working nina's jaw hinges again ," whenever you start to feel tense , yawn . do you klike what you do ?"
"when i win . when i do good work."
they lapsed back into silence for some time while nina's shoulders andbiceps got a final workout , chelsi leaning over nina from above like an angel of mercy .
"let's give you foot rub . are you good at it ?"
"at what ?"
"your work ."
"yes."
"now see , i asked women that , and hardly ever do they say yes . the guys neer hesitate . they say ," sure , you're awsome to have that kind of confidence . what is it really like ? i mean , really ? she oiled nina 's foot and started tweaking and pulling on her toes , as if they had muscles too .
"practicing law ? well , a case starts with an immediate problem. your client is in jail , or your client's about to be evicted . or
