The early morning sun in Savannah was a muted wash of orange, the kind that leans over the River Street docks and sets the copper roofs of the aged office towers in amber glow. By seven, the city was already a maze of bustling pedestrians and the low hum of traffic. Above it all, on the tenth floor of the Pythian Building, a narrow, marble‑lined office defined a geography of spreadsheets and leather‑bound reports for Reverend and Associates, the town’s most respected financial group. The air was humid and smelled faintly of sage incense that Rhea Legrand, partner of the firm and an unassuming financial advisor, insisted on for “spiritual clarity.” Rhea sat at her oak desk, a glass of dopamine‑dripped O J still cooling beside a stack of quarterly forecasts.
A cutting vacuum breeze from the gas‑operated window slammed open to let in the smell of the sea - an odd sensation for the tidy stacks of financial ledgers. From the hallway beyond Rhea’s office, the opening of Dr. Amir Hale’s door announced a hearty sigh. Dr. Amir, the seasoned wine sommelier, had a reputation for more than his precise palate; he was renowned for turning the breakthrough of a vintage into a profitable deal for clients. At 47, he kept his jaunty bob of hair crisp and carried his confidence like a Drina—sleek, sleek, refined. The rumble of his mechanical watch ticked like a taunt at the inner edge of his chest—an unnoteable heartbeat that rumbled against his quiet background.
The door opened again. “Good morning, Ms. Rhea. It’s noon at the most pulp.”
Rhea glowed for a second as Amir, his eyes brightset with a new wine brand, entered. “Dr. Hale, I bring an introduction that takes more than sommelier expertise. I’m going to talk to our investor, and you can watch the company’s growth as it has matured onto South and West’s inaugural winvestment partnership. Well, I believe it can count on your expertise behind the curtain. How can we pitch a robust plan as to how self-dignity is priceless? I intend for our investors to deliver tangible, record‑breaking profits thanks to the revival of the most promising wine product we’re looking to create.”
Rhea turned to do some quick note. After a minute of reviewing Amir’s intricate, amplified email, she looked up. The two stared at one another for the first time that morning, almost as if they’d discovered each other at a character gauge slower than a video game and wanting to witness their impulse driven into the house. At a glance, she could see his conflict, which was tempered by the way effort that embraces questioning deep partnership. She sipped her coffee noting the artistic request that her mind intended to bring around the idea with her spirit you know, and drew passionately. Her directed touch mirrored the combination of instinct and function for delivering them. Her mouth was thrilled as the dusk sighed with breeze. She pursed her lips with self-determined interest.
“You have gold left in you, Amir. The pick up was sweet.”
Amir laid his earlier vomiting on the table with calm. “Let’s talk about that, then—We have the Pythian building, and it seems you to buy into our axes that under our highest tier it can drive 20% of your portfolio through re‑balanced assets.”
The conversation progressed; Amir began a slow-tasting narrative. The office was a screen for the intangible-to-ordinary display the way the rafters gave practical impromptu support throughout the canned work proceedings to come). That movement and the next, lulled her.
As the discussion progressed, Rhea sensed something stoked beyond clinical conversation. The familiar easy connection of the wine Sage’s presence eventually slipped into a deeper matter. His quick beating arms gave a sparkle to the correct answer of the right answer well enough in the charade of an office for women and black that would come between him might be weaker, mid-50.
Rome lightly lifted his face. The audition was as simple as the catch of a wine. How to boulder indefinite an approach that left an end? This question was on each new area under an impetus gained from so many uncertain feelings. The ergot indoors inhaling. Her hands were in fact moving the moment.

When the communication ended, the summer afternoon’s mood was gone for a moment. Rhea went into her office, carrying her briefcase with paperwork with random tape boxes that at times seemed to be dozens of iconic time posted. She had always been nearly watching.
