Violet walked into the conference room, coffee in hand, wiping the last remnants of sleep from her eyes. By now she expected to be used to getting up early in the morning, and she had been, but for some reason she hadn't been able to become fully awake yet today. Suppressing a yawn, she looked around to see who else was in the room. It appeared that she was one of the first.

"Hi, Erica," she said with a smile. "How've you been? It's been awhile since we talked." Violet hoped that she would be able to stay awake and alert during this meeting, as always, and she would try her best, as always. Maybe she just needed a vacation.
