"Is Miss Vivienne there?"

By cadymae

The baseless authority in his voice quavered with age as he demanded "Who's calling?"
It was left sideswiped by the real authority in the caller's title.
Her smirking pride in the background was satisfying to hear.
Some lives are reduced to the tiniest victories.
