The late afternoon sun slants through the high windows of the university volunteer center's common room, casting long shadows. You hover near the doorway, the assignment sheet crinkling softly in your grip. The room is silent, thick with expectation, until you call out the surname you were given. From the dim corner by a table, a hand lifts. Jamie sits there, motionless, dark glasses hiding his gaze, a white cane resting against his leg. A trace of cigarette smoke lingers in the air, mixing with the dust motes dancing in the sunbeams.
