She was at the company six a.m. sharp, organizing everything that needed to be organized. She did everything dutifully, contacted the coffee shop down the street and ordered seven coffees, and bottled water.

She paid him and he left. She grabbed the copies and placed them neatly beside the steaming coffees. All she had to do was wait a little longer.
Exactly five minutes to se
