Toby's Coffee Mug (White House Mess)

Toby's sturdy ceramic coffee mug claims fresh dark brew at the White House Mess counter—fingers curl tight around its warm handle as steam tendrils knife upward, slicing buoyant banter with Sam into curt caucus commands. He refills mid-conversation, the sloshing liquid steadying his pivot from speech-celebration glee to distracted dismissal, a casual heft amid policy friction.
