Hale shook his head. If there had been news, he would have advised Rofuss by phone and wouldn't have made the trip, even though the State Department was not far from Grey Palace.
Rofuss didn't say much more, turning his attention back to the documents in front of him.
Hale felt somewhat awkward, thinking he might have been worrying unnecessarily. After all, even the President wasn't in a hurry, and yet he couldn't sit still, which made him seem somewhat impatient.
Of course, this wasn't about patience.
