He’d taken extra care with his appearance this morning, a fresh shave and a crisp, clean shirt. The knot of his tie was perfect. Thomas poured himself a cup of tea, the clink of the mug against the saucer a small, pleasant sound. He savored the warm, comforting liquid. He was so ready.

A young man, David, a fresh face, walked into the office, his eyes wide. Thomas stood, gesturing to the open space.

He spread his arms in a gesture of welcome.
