Excerpt

The oak paneling in the Hart Senate Office Building hearing room felt aggressively solid. Suae Canbote sat at the witness table and let her fingertips rest against the polished wood. She breathed strictly through her nose. The air in the room was overly conditioned and carried the faint scent of floor wax and anxious perspiration.
