The reception we received at the reception room was top-notched. It was nothing like I have ever imagined. We sat on sofas befitting a king, and we were offered wine in tall glasses. Of course we rejected the wine but not the other treatments we received.
For instance, Leonard and I were promptly attended to, even though we were the last to arrive. We were also directed to an area marked 'exclusive' which, according to Leonard, was reserved only for his family. I wanted to ask why but then, why not? He is Leonard Richardson Litt.
"The floor is all yours, take whatever you want." Leonard whispered, once the lady who had accompanied us to the area left. He was leaning on a shoe stand, and for a moment I worried that his weight would make it fall but a closer look at it suggested otherwise. The shoe stand was built to the ground, and unable to fall, at least not from Leonard's weight resting against it.
