The silence caressed her skin like a cool summer breeze, except it wasn't summer, and the frigid air conditioning could have chipped her hair off had she not already shaved it. She'd risen from her seat, fingers trembling to the point she could barely adjust the button on her blazer, but rather ended up fiddling with it. "Yes, your honor, I'm prepared." Christina Gresham heard herself say. She gulped a breath thinking not about what she would have to endure if she'd lost, but rather what she would enjoy when she'd won. The shaking in her hands reduced. She stepped aside from her table, from her father. She became the lawyer who'd won more cases than she'd lost.
