"I brought you some cookies." She placed the baked goods on his desk and held the book out to him. "And I just read this and I absolutely love it and I thought maybe you would too because you have great taste in literature and I think you'd live to read it and -oh!" She dropped the book haphazardly onto her now-growing pile in front of him. "And this is my assignment from last class. I wanted to give it you in person."
Her smile broadened as she waited expectantly for his answer.
