The girl quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Mr. Grant. It’s lunch break now, so I thought you wouldn't be in the office anymore. I bought a few books to put in your bookcase for you."

I shook my head slightly. "No, I just think you and your office have changed so suddenly recently. Both feel much warmer now. It really is a pretty good change."
