Eleanor walked into the marble foyer, drying her umbrella before taking off her rain-soaked coat to reveal a sharp charcoal suit.
"Arthur, we haven't spoken since the winter of ninety-eight in Geneva," Eleanor said, her voice rich with an international accent.

"What kind of debts?" Arthur demanded, his hands gripping the edge of the desk.
