better output. They didn’t have to deal with suppliers anymore since they were using the same suppliers as the first building.
    When all the issues have been covered, Henry stood up, checking his watch.
    “I have to go to another meeting nearby,” he told Liz. “Take a cab back to the office, then just get the receipt.”
    “Henry, is it okay if I stay for an extra half hour here?” she asked. “I’d like to go around the development.”
    “Sure, that’s a good idea,” Henry said, nodding. “Have Matt go with you. You’d need a hard hat for some areas.”
    “Okay, thanks,” she said. And before she could say anything else, Henry quickly walked away, without another word.
    “You’ll get used to that,” Liz heard behind her.
    She looked to see Kayla walking over to her, grinning. “Henry. He’s always on the move. Always busy. There’s always a meeting after a meeting.” 
    They both laughed. Liz wasn’t surprised that Henry was like that. 
    “Are you enjoying your work in RHS so far?” Kayla asked. 
    “It may be too soon to say, but I think I’m loving it,” Liz said earnestly. 
    Kayla smiled at her warmly. “It’s a great career choice. If I didn’t feel as passionately about designing I would have applied for your position too.”
     They laughed again, and Liz was thinking that she liked Kayla. She was obviously a successful architect but she seemed very down-to-earth and friendly. No wonder Dana and Sarah spoke highly about her.
    “Are you originally from New York?” Kayla asked.
    Liz nodded. “I’ve more or less lived here all my life.”
    “So you went to college here?”
    “Yes, NYU,” Liz answered. “How about you?”
    “Cornell,” Kayla replied, smiling. “It’s great to see a fresh face here in the meeting. I’ve been surrounded with all these men for the past weeks!”
    Liz laughed. “Thanks for the welcome,” she said. “I’ll see you again next week.”
    Kayla moved to speak to one of the engineers, and Liz looked for Matt. Matt was a tall, stocky man who was very accommodating. He had the personality of a dad who probably volunteered to coach his little son’s baseball team. 
    He gladly agreed to bring Liz around, grabbing a hard hat for her. They went through the areas still under construction. It was quite interesting for Liz because she hasn’t been to a construction site before. She wasn’t familiar with all the technical terms, so she took note to read up a bit about it. 
    After the short tour, Kayla gave the hat back to Matt. “Thanks, Matt. I’ll just look around the garden.”  
    On her own, Liz wandered around, seeing the jungle gym set up, as well as a tree house. She also noticed a vegetable garden at one corner. A couple of people were tending to it. She wondered if they were volunteers or residents. She was impressed with the thought given to the development. The common areas were well-maintained.
    She also passed by the soup kitchen where she detected – based on the sounds coming from the kitchen – that they were preparing for this evening’s dinner.
    Then remembering, she traced her steps back to the multi-purpose room until she was past it and was at the library next-door.
     The library was probably only around two hundred square feet. There were half-filled shelves at the three sides of the rooms, and had two tables at the center. She saw an elderly lady seated at one table reading a paperback, and a little boy seated on the other – Liz saw he was reading one of the Harry Potter books. 
    Liz approached the lady.
    “Hi! Are you a volunteer here?” she asked.
    The lady looked up, squinting over her read glasses. She smiled at Liz. “Yes dear, are you with the foundation?” 
    Liz nodded. “I just started. First time here in Stone Homes. How many volunteers take turns here in the library?”
    “So far there’s just me, Angela Moore and Philip Mendoza,” she said. 
    Liz nodded as she absorbed the information. She wasn’t
