Zoe took her tray to the table in the corner. She hadn't met very many people at the ministry yet, and didn't know who may be eating lunch when she was. Her time away from the day care was limited, but not so limited that she couldn't chat with someone while she ate.

Trying to appear welcoming, Zoe pushed out the chair across from her a bit and looked around every now and then. She hoped someone would want to sit with her. She'd even be willing to share her blueberry cream pie.

Not knowing if anyone would join her, she started on her salad. She fresh tomatoes were her favorite with the cucumbers coming in a close second. Yes, she would have to start a garden in the spring. By then, she would be more established at the ministry and hopefully have a bit more time to tend to the garden.
