I set the moving box down on the clean hardwood floor and peeled off the thick bubble wrap around my framed Regional Sales Director award.

The beveled glass caught the winter morning sun streaming through the tall south-facing windows.

I ran my right thumb across the polished brass plate, reading my name engraved just below the gold corporate seal.

The little metal wall anchor went into the plaster with three soft taps of a light hammer.

I hung the mahogany frame straight, adjusted the braided wire behind it, and stepped back twice to check that it was level.

My silver ring turned once on my right thumb as I ran the numbers in my head.
