"Did you hear?" David asked, leaning against the doorframe, his voice low. "They started calling people." He saw the question in Maria's eyes. Maria had been expecting it.

Maria felt a sudden wave of heat, a flush rising in her cheeks. She straightened, pushing back the stray strands of hair from her face. She closed her eyes for a moment, picturing herself at that desk, surrounded by the team, the collaborative environment she'd longed for.

She turned to David. "Well," she said, her voice unusually steady. "Let's see who gets the call, shall we?" She walked towards the window, looking out over the cityscape.
