Summary
This never happened, Don thinks, a little dazed. But what, exactly, had just not happened?
Whatever it was, it's done, decisively whisked out of sight and shut away, smoothed over. This is why clients have always liked Ken, unfailingly preferred him to even the most committed boot-lickers. Campbell would bend over backwards to solve a client's problem; Kenny just doesn't seem to have problems in the first place, his sunny confidence – a smile, a shrug – simply repelling them. Call him a mark, but Don had assumed that the laid-back cheeriness was his default state, not a deliberate choice, until he'd stopped being able to turn it on at the office.Chevy break the rules of engagement.

Summary
He laughs, but it doesn’t explode out of him anymore. Ha ha ha ha! It used to fill the house, him and Steven the loudest of the four, crowing like beasts, Jeremiah cackling after them, Belly the eternal victim of their antics. Now it rumbles out of him, a low, surly chuckle.
And so Laurel knows, long, long before it ever happens, when it begins to end.
