And When She Was Good (2012)
“He was tall, taller than Val. Almost all men were taller than Val, but Martin was so absurdly tall that Val didn’t take offense. Like the Georges, Martin was allowed his size. It helped that he was thin, and not in the ropy, muscular way of Val. He was floppy and weak.
Plus, he was young, worshipful. In a different business environment, he would have been Val’s intern, running meaningless errands in order to be close to the man he admired, happy to take his abuse. Helen was never quite sure... what Martin did for Val, but then she also was never quite clear on the scope of Val’s business. He continued to disappear for days at a time. He tried to put Martin in charge when he did, but the girls walked all over him, and Val had to use the Georges. Although increasingly it was George I, with George II disappearing with his boss. When Val was away, Martin drifted around the house, as melancholy as a dog who missed his master.
