There was a thud at the door.

"I've got it, honey."

"Thanks. We've got a big donor meeting at ten. I want to be early."

"You'll knock 'em dead, Lin. How can anyone resist when you talk about what people need?"

Lindsey kissed her cheek, then nibbled a bagel. Suddenly, a yellow cat hopped onto the table.

"I'm sorry, Lin, he ran in when I got the paper." Kari grabbed the cat and carried him out. "Shoo."

Lindsey opened the paper. Local man dies pulling boy from river. "How sad," she murmured. "Wait...since when do we get the Sun-Times?"
