The Stair That Stops Short
Noor heard the printer before she saw Ellis. He came in with a roll of paper under his arm and the look of a man who has already decided. Outside, the street was bright and empty. On the side table, the school model still had a stair that stopped short of the landing.

Ellis spread the drawing on her desk. A shop front, a lot of glass, a clean strip where a sign could go. The kind of work they could finish without a fight. "They want us soon," he said. "The school can sit. Nothing has started on site."
