Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 175

Roseanne really thought she could turn back the clock, huh?

Years out of college and she's dreaming of hitting the books again?

In her dreams!

Wait till the scores are out. She'll be eating humble pie!

Raven said, "Hearing Lauretta put it that way, now I'm kinda curious too."

Alva smirked. "Yeah, we're all dying to know, Annie. Just check it, will you? Let's have a look. No biggie, whether you aced it or bombed it, it's all good."

Madge glanced at her daughter, instinctively wanting to object.

But Roseanne simply smiled: "Sure."

The group huddled around the computer. Roseanne had already entered her candidate number and password; now, all it took was a gentle tap on the enter key to reveal her scores.

"Dad, you do it."

Norris was surprised. "Me?"

"Yeah, didn't you check my SAT scores for me back in the day?"

"Alright." Norris rubbed his hands together, took a deep breath, and pressed enter.

The page hesitated, loading.

Everyone held their breath.

One second, two seconds...

"It's up! It's up!"

Total score: 412.

Abbey nudged a stunned Lauretta, whispering, "What's the total score? Four hundred something doesn't sound too high..."

Lauretta's lips moved, but no sound came out.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Raven quickly masked her surprise, offering a slight smile. "Abbey, out of a possible 500. With this score, Annie's probably in the top three? First place isn't out of the question."
