Episode 2: Unanticipated Revelations – 2018 Policy Horizons Summit Deep Dive

The candid shot from the corner booth at Berkeley’s hidden gem, Chez Panisse, timestamped 9:42 p.m., shows Dr. Sofia Rivera leaning in close across the candlelit table, her fingers lightly brushing the stem of her wine glass while Juan Morales mirrors the gesture with his own, their hands almost—but not quite—touching. She’s laughing at something he’s whispered, head tilted back just enough to expose the soft line of her neck, while the young Argentinian’s dark eyes hold hers with an intensity that goes well beyond professional admiration. With Theodore conveniently out of town on one of his “grant retreats,” the two of them lingered over dessert for nearly an hour, sharing a single spoon for the chocolate soufflé in a way that suggests the good doctor isn’t just mentoring her athletic live-in assistant—she’s giving him a very private lesson in indulgence.
