She picked at her lunch, a dry sandwich. The smell of the office, usually familiar, suddenly felt alien, tainted. She felt a surge of cold fury.

She saw the intern chatting animatedly with her boss and had to avert her gaze. The casual confidence in the interns gestures caused a hot wave of revulsion to sweep over her.
