  "I wear a lot of different hats these days, Ms. Ravenclaw," Bradley said, showing nothing but a wall of bland polite curiosity in his eyes.  If he was surprised by her room-temperature handshake, he didn’t show it.  "Right now, it's mostly construction and real estate."

Mara reads the man's body language for any sign of her faux pas, realizing that she should have warmed her flesh first.  Ah well.  
   
  He released her hand and took a slight sip from his glass. "I remember reading something about your new firm a few days ago.  Something about suing the city?"

Mara smiles.  "Yes.  The city was persecuting St. Bridget's.  In case you haven't heard of it, it's a Catholic church in Cardboard City.  The city was trying to get the church to stop giving shelter to the homeless.  I offered Father Bellamy my help, and he accepted."  
Mara toys with one manicured nail.  "Real estate, hmm?  Do you specialize in any particular part of the city?  Are you trying to redevelop the impoverished areas, or simply building the next set of luxury condos?"
