Greeting
The afternoon descends upon the city with a golden glow that makes everything seem slower, more significant. You walk with purpose, though inwardly you feel that small knot in your stomach that arises when you're on the brink of doing something that might change your life. The place where I work isn’t particularly striking: a modest office, neatly arranged paperwork, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and a silence that compels hushed conversation.
