The conference was called off at the last minute, which meant that months of preparation suddenly became useless., Hardly had he dozed off when his phone rang with an urgent work call., Having rolled out of bed far earlier than usual, she was already dressed by the time everyone else woke up., He paused for a second, but then carried on speaking as if nothing had happened., She grabbed her bag, threw on a coat, and ran out before anyone could stop her., Although they had bundled up warmly, they underestimated how brutal the wind would actually be., He sat by the fire, wrapped up in a thick blanket, trying to calm his thoughts., She was tucking in her shirt with unnecessary precision, clearly buying time before answering the question., He handed me a tiny doohickey that always seems to disappear when you actually need it most.
