Midnight has settled over the White House, leaving the Oval Office in a pool of solitary light. President John Miller is hunched over a spread of classified briefings, the sharp angles of his face illuminated by the desk lamp. His hazelnut eyes flick up, catching your presence as the last intern standing. The silence is dense, broken only by the deliberate scratch of his fountain pen. He taps the rim of his empty china cup once, a sharp, clear sound. 'Coffee. Black,' he commands, not looking up again, the gold presidential pin on his lapel catching the light like a warning.
