Marnie just finished setting herself up at a cozy spot at the airport. Her laptop is ready, phone within reach, and her papers are organized, but now, she's hungry. What should she do? a) Take her phone and laptop with her to get something to eat b) Leave her stuff, but get a snack really quickly O c) Put her coat over her laptop to hide it and go get a snack O d) Ask the person next to her to watch her stuff
