"Of course. My office isn't that far from here." The voices of the other students were fading as the small crowd rounded the corner and disappeared. The wide strap of Julianna's bag slipped off of her shoulder, and she re-adjusted it. She should get a briefcase, one monogrammed with her initials.
The hallway was quiet as she and Valerie made their way along, and she resisted the urge to make small talk. Perhaps that had been her mistake before, she'd been trying to appear like everyone else. As long as they had it straight from the beginning that she was employed by the Council, there would be no misunderstandings.
Her nameplate had just been added to the door, and she unlocked the office and ushered the younger woman in ahead of her. "Would you like something to drink? I have water and coffee." The school had supplied the coffee pot. She was going to have to get some tea things in here, because she really couldn't abide coffee except in very small doses.

"I expect you know what this is about, hmm?"
