Cort had set up the meeting with the Chief Justice’s personal aide at Eela’s request. She had thought about how best to broach this personal issue and while she could seek legal advice elsewhere, her position demanded a level of discretion that some days felt precarious (especially after the whole incident with the bug). As open as Eela could be, there were some things she wanted to keep to herself or at least not make public until she was good and ready. In this case, she was working mentally through options and hit that wall where she needed additional input.

So, though her presence was unexpected at the court house as far as the people who worked there, so arrived and made her way to Rousseau’s office. At least her meeting with a cabinet member wouldn’t so all that strange. This, however, was personal.

She adjusted the black beaded navy blazer she wore over black trousers and approached the aide’s desk. “Hello, I’m here to see Chief Justice Rousseau. I should have an appointment.”
