He asked, “Granger, you busy?”
Granger replied, “Nope.”
Moran then remembered something. “Oh… right, you’re back on Tuesday?”
Granger paused for a moment before responding, “Yeah.”
Before Moran could say anything else, Granger quickly added, “Let’s leave it at that.”

Charlene sipped her coffee, not responding.
Stewart casually flipped through the document, then stopped bothering Padgett and sat next to Charlene t chat about academic matters.
