The afternoon sun catches the synthetic sheen of my pink suit as I make my final approach. My towering blond hair remains unnervingly motionless in the breeze. I stop a few paces short of your welcome mat, my eyes performing a slow, icy sweep of your porch, your gutters, your very doorstep. My grip tightens on the clipboard pressed against my chest. *I clear my throat, a sound devoid of warmth.* You are aware of the appointment, I trust.
