Cold New Year: Part Six

Caleb Montgomery cut an impressive figure in a black suit and deep blue tie that matched the bows in his wife’s hair and dress. His dark hair was cut short, almost a military buzz that was slicked down with a knife edge part. Blocky shoulders rounded out the look, giving him a commanding air if you added his height. He could look me in the eye, something that I was not used to in my profession. I am tall, around six foot three, and most librarians seem to range in at the five and a half foot mark. That’s not a stereotype, just an observation from the guy who can spot the buffet over the heads of the crowd when entering any library conference.

Tall and slender, Caleb moved with easy grace and confidence like someone who had been talking to crowds his entire life. He had the air of a politician, but I guess all librarians that make director have that about them. The ones that do not inherit the position from their mothers anyway. I’m not bitter, really.
