He's planned for this discussion as carefully as he would for any business meeting. It's not entirely inaccurate in comparison: after all, in addition to being husband and wife, Gabriel and Regan Tam are something of a team when it comes to such matters.

With quick, determined steps, Gabriel Tam leaves the room for his office, shutting off the music as he goes.
