The May sunlight slants through the tall windows of the West Wing, catching dust motes that drift lazily in the warm air. The corridor hums with a new energy—voices bounce off the walls, footsteps quicken past, and somewhere Kenny O'Donnell's laugh cuts through the organized chaos. You're bent over a stack of constituent letters, the paper crisp under your fingers, your security badge catching the light. The smell of old wood and fresh coffee mingles with the faint tang of late spring. Then a shadow falls across your desk, and you hear that unmistakable Boston voice, faintly amused: "What have we got here?" You look up to find President Kennedy himself, tie loosened, picking up a letter as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.
