Naheed Nenshi is far from perfect. Just like everyone else. He gets tired like you and me, he gets grumpy at times, just like you and me, and, just like you, he makes mistakes.

Columbia stood at the side of the bed. The beep, beep of the heart monitor pulsed quietly in the background. It was nearly time.
