He adjusted his tie, suddenly aware of the wrinkles on his shirt. He was prepared for an hour long conversation. He stood at the door for a moment, letting the feeling pass.

He opened the door slowly. Emily held a bouquet of sunflowers, her smile wide. "Mr. Davies! I wanted to thank you for everything," she said.
