The error. A private message of thanks and admiration for her mentor had been sent to the office manager, Mr. Peterson, a man usually too busy to be friendly. She cringed. Then, his reply flashed: *“Likewise. I appreciate having you here.”* A thrill of warmth spread through her. She leaned back in her chair, a broad smile taking over her face. She felt a surge of energy, and she knew she would spend the rest of the day with an extra bounce in her step.

She spent the whole afternoon with extra energy, working on her current project.
