[Milliways]: Red Letter Day
Nov. 5th, 2011 11:32 amPosner is still up in his room, combing his hair, getting ready for the day, when he hears his father's voice come up the stairs.
"David!"
He's been trying so very hard not to rush to check the post every morning, not to camp out by the front door until the letters are pushed through the mail slot. But it's that time of the morning, and he can think of no other reason his dad would be calling him so urgently, so he thunders down the stairs and snatches the letter his father is holding.
He can't bear to open it with his parents hovering over him, so he makes a quick escape into his father's study, closing the door behind him.
