For once, the office of Senator Athena was silent. No pale blue shadows on the wall, no buzzing whine of computer. The only sound to be heard was the scratching of a pencil on a thin piece of linen paper. Katherine liked the feel of wood beneath her hand. It reminded her of childhood- warm grass and muddied knees and all of the things that she had run so swiftly away from and into adulthood without meaning to at all.
