maybe cole 's coming back was n't so bad , she mused . then , a cold wind blows my first sign . she had always thought that she should have made more of an effort to speak to moss privately , outside of the official channels . then he raised a cocky eyebrow , speaking plainly instead of in code as we had been . all in all , it was a rather boring day . she was so pleased to see him , it did n't matter one little bit that she 'd brought her lunch .
