V wraps the cord around her charger and walks out the door and shuts it behind her. We see a dejected K as the door shuts. It then opens up K smiles as V pokes her face inside and says, “I had a client once, a widower, now I am not saying you are one, only that I once had a client that was one and I made a dating video for her after she lost her husband.
