He filled out the mandatory form with precision. The clerk explained that the processing of the application would take five days.

Burak felt relief because he had fulfilled his civic duty. He decided that a reward was necessary after the administrative stress.

He walked toward The Golden Lion pub on High Street. It was 11:30 when he entered the historic building.
