This story has such an overriding loneliness to it that including the word 'lonely' in the story almost feels like overkill. A really excellent job with the tone. I agree with everything Rivka said.

I very much like office stories, and you do office stories very well. You could do an anthology of office stories. I thought this one was subtle and fine. "All the lights were off now, apart from one on the fifth floor." Something happened, maybe something consensual, maybe not, and Natasha had to find a new job. But for me, the real story is how little they knew her, and how little they know each other. Very well written and so relevant to most people's lives. This is a great story.
