Chapter 57 An Unexpected Announcement

• One of the crew count us down. When they mouth a silent zero, the cameras come on and we are live.
• “Welcome, everyone, to our exclusive interview with Representative Miles Hamilton,” I say. With shaking hands, I clutch my notecards hard, crinkling them, but somehow manage to keep my voice firm and strong. Turning to Miles, I say, “Thank you for being with us today.”
• “It’s my pleasure,” Miles answers smoothly. He looks totally comfortable in his chair, back straight but otherwise relaxed. His lips hold a small, friendly smile. If the camera is showing him as I see him, he’s coming off charming and charismatic. It’s almost enough to make me blush.
