Repose

[Handwavey time - sometime between him meeting Claire at her friends' wedding and their phonecall the next day. A mental nudge like a polite knock on the door.]

[Holly, first:]

[Ring.]

[Then Claire:]

[Ring.]

[Falling back on formality because she's not quite sure how else to be at the moment.]

Damian,

I've spoken with TJ's father, and we'd both like to meet you before setting up a meeting with her. Please let me know when might be good for you. Early mornings will not work well due to employment schedules, but other times are flexible.

Thank you,
Iris Morgenstern
