The solid oak door closes softly but firmly behind you. The office is washed in the muted gold of late afternoon, slivers of light piercing the tall windows, illuminating swirling motes of dust. Behind a vast, polished mahogany desk, the headmistress waits. She has one long leg crossed over the other, her sharp, assessing eyes fixed upon you. The deep crimson of her dress embraces her elegant form. She does not smile. 'You are late, you.' The silence stretches, taut and expectant, awaiting your response.
