The third floor common room had been rearranged to accommodate people and there were refreshments set up on a table.

It was not a good day to spend time outdoors. In fact, it was cloudy and a little windy and the scent of imminent rain was on the air. Still, Dale had an itch not to be cooped up in an office all afternoon.
