Tabitha stepped out of the office to find a cool autumn wind blowing on her face. While the furniture and fittings on the inside were similar to offices around the world, she couldn’t help but be charmed by the refurbished Georgian Townhouse. Dating back to the late 1700s, the building adhered to a strict symmetry that could have made the exterior look like a long, tall, bland, brick building. However, the pillars and arched doorway made for a very pretty exterior.

Locating the grand Langham hotel half a block away, Tabitha made her way toward it. It was the one landmark she knew that would take her onto the street that led to her subway station.

“Tube station,” Tabitha corrected herself. “The London underground system is known as the tube.”

Passing the impressive five-star hotel – the first of its kind to be built in London – and nodding to the bellboys, Tabitha began making her way down Regent Street toward Oxford Circus. She took her time to scan the High Street fashion shops humming with customers. By the time she reached Oxford Circus tube station, Tabitha found herself outside the flagship Top Shop store. There was a throng inside which deterred her from entering. Hastings-Bass may never fill a five-story retail property, but they could certainly benefit from the pedestrian traffic Top Shop generated. The challenge she was faced with was convincing the London branch that High Street shops offered great opportunities for increasing the demographic of the Hastings-Bass market.

Hastings-Bass was on lower Regent Street with the other fashion designer shops. They sold exclusive clothes to a small number of people, which was why very few people had heard of the label.

Trying to put work aside for the coming weekend, Tabitha scuttled down the steps to the underground, grabbing a free paper as she went through the gates. She’d picked a good time to travel. It was 8 pm. The rush hour had died out and people out partying on a Friday night wouldn’t be using the tube until at least 11 pm.

The tube arrived promptly and Tabitha was relieved to find a seat in the half empty car. Sitting primly and opening the paper to scan through it to pass the ten minute journey home, Tabitha felt certain she was being closely observed. Raising her head from behind the paper she was using to avoid eye contact with fellow passengers, a tall, blonde haired man in a navy suit caught her eye. Sitting opposite her five seats down, was the angel from work. As her eyes met his, he held her gaze.

“He’s probably checking out the map above my head to find out how many stops he’s got left,” she thought, taking into account her earlier mistake.

The left hand side of his mouth raised in a half smile. Tabitha stopped herself from looking to either side to see if the smile was directed toward someone else. Impulsively she grinned back. The man buried his head in the Financial Times in response.
