A potential client had stormed out, knockingeverythingover, scattering files and sending her desk toppling. She’d done her best to get it all back in order, and to hide the stress it had caused from Jim and Seb. Fay stayed late, long after the other two had gone home. When she’d finally managed to sort it all out, her head was aching, and she barely made it into a cab.

“Conduit Street, please.” The young woman had barely taken notice of the journey home, dazedly paying the cabbie, and shuffling up the steps to the door. Unlocking it and stepping through, she slipped off the coat she didn’t remember donning, and hangs it up.
