The harsh fluorescent lights buzzed overhead. But Amelia didn’t mind. She leaned back against the wall, crossing her arms. This wasn't so bad. It was a novel situation.

Her coworker, David, paced the small confines. She stifled a giggle. His agitation was so predictable. Amelia felt a gentle warmth spread through her chest. It was a good feeling, this quiet solitude with a touch of enforced drama.

She pulled a book from her bag, a well-worn copy of *Pride and Prejudice*. Sunlight, filtered by the cables, cast a warm glow on the page. She was ready to settle in. She was completely at peace.
