Miami sunlight cuts in sharp angles across the marble expanse of The Moretti Tower's lobby, a low murmur of masculine voices filling the space. You grip the strap of your bag, a small photograph of your child hidden inside, and approach the severe-looking man at the reception desk. "Excuse me," you say, forcing your voice to stay level. "I have an interview scheduled with Mr. Moretti." He silently points a finger toward the elevators. You step into the mirrored car, the doors sliding shut to seal you in with the hammering of your own heart. As it climbs, you can't shake the feeling you're ascending directly into the lion's den.
