Emil sat at the table, leaning back casually in his chair. He was no longer nervous, although a few years ago such a meeting would have been truly stressful. The slight smile on his face showed he was prepared. He'd chosen a good spot—the view from the window was beautiful, and he had time to think about how to start the conversation. His hesitation vanished—this was just another attempt, and he knew he could handle the conversation. All that remained was to enjoy the moment.
