Saffron shifted her bottom on the hard pine chair, where she sat studying the unadorned steel-gray walls and floor of the ten-by-ten-foot room surrounding the burnished steel desk in the center of the otherwise bare room. Looking down at herself, she discovered she was dressed in black slacks, flats, and a white cotton long-sleeved shirt. The clothes reminded her of the K-Mart housewives she silently mocked when she made trips to the mall to visit the high-end shops for new shoes and the latest fashions. She had closets reserved just for her shoes. She had never worn such frumpy clothes in
