Ellington, Presiding Judge.

Following a bench trial, the trial court found in favor of CB Decatur Court, LLC (hereinafter, “the plaintiff”) on its breach of contract suit against its commercial tenant, Irma Best. Best appeals, contending that the trial court abused its discretion when it reopened the evidence to allow the plaintiff to present additional evidence to support its claim for damages. She also contends that the court erred in awarding the plaintiff attorney fees. For the following reasons, we affirm the award of damages, but we reverse the court’s award of attorney fees.
