He is her neighbor from the fifth floor. 'Good morning,' Emma says with a smile. 'Good morning,' the man answers. His name is Peter. 'How are you today?' Emma asks. 'I am fine, thank you,' Peter says. 'And you?' 'I am good,' Emma answers. 'It is a nice day outside,' Peter says. 'Yes, the sun is shining,' Emma agrees. 'Do you have plans for today?' Peter asks. 'I am going to work,' Emma says. 'I work at a bookstore.' 'That sounds nice,' Peter says. 'I like books too.' The elevator stops at the fifth floor. 'This is my floor,' Peter says. 'Have a nice day at work.' 'Thank you,' Emma says. 'You too, have a nice day.' Peter smiles and waves goodbye. Emma continues to the ground floor.
