The Way Home

Chapter 1
Slap file closed. Throw into out-tray. (very satisfying thunk) Look at watch. Time to go. Time for my little girl.
Pick up briefcase. Two files from in-tray. Drop into briefcase. (click-click) Catches close. (love that sound)
Check reflection in window. Straighten tie. Pull door closed. Listen for snick. (another good sound)
Wave to secretary. "Good night Molly."
"Good night, Mr Richardson. See you tomorrow."
Her voice is soft. I love the sound of her voice. It sounds so sweet.
Keep walking. No time to chat. My girl will be waiting.
(Traffic noise) Crowded pavement. Bland faceless people bustle. (snips of half-heard conversations) Stride through crowd. Be assertive, not pushy.
