Chimera Fields Do we both confide?

He was not sure how much he believed her (especially with her use of the word "typically"), but she had not attacked him, so that was a step in the right direction.

When she asked what he wanted, Draper was surprised. He had not been expecting that question at all. It was so rare for anybody to ask what he wanted. He thought about saying the obvious (to not be the victim of attempted murder every other day), but he got the feeling that was not really what she was asking. Maybe he could do a deep dive on what he actually wanted. Not just things he did not want.
