Today's meeting was held in the conference room with 5 people present: Ellen, John, Jane, Bob, and Mike. Ellen arrived fashionably late and spent the first 20 minutes apologizing.
Ellen: "Sorry, sorry, I know I'm late again."
John: "It's okay, Ellen, we're just happy to have you here."
Discussion ensued, but mostly about who ate the last donut in the break room.
Ellen: "I did not eat the donut! I swear."
John: "Ellen, we have evidence."
Ellen: "Fine, I ate it. I'll buy another box."
