Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 346

Owen quickly gauged their identities from their ages and appearances.

Smiling, he stepped forward to greet them, “Hey there, Mr. And Mrs. Cole, I'm Owen Reynolds, Roseanne's neighbor.”

Roseanne snapped back to the moment and promptly introduced everyone.

“...Dad, Mom, this is Mr. Reynolds. He lent me his lab.”

Norris seemed to have an epiphany, “I had no idea Mr. Reynolds was so young, quite the achiever.”

Madge was slightly surprised too, but recovering, she smiled, “Thank you for looking after our Anne these past days.”

“No worries at all, feel free to call me Owen or just Owen, really.”

Just Owen?

Was he placing himself on the same level as Anne?

“Uh? This…” Norris noticed something in Owen' hand, a leather-bound item that seemed both like and unlike a book.

Owen explained, “This is a ‘Desk Calendar Notebook' I borrowed from Mr. Martin over at Twilight Peak Academy's Physics Department.”

Worried Norris might not catch on, he elaborated, “This ‘Desk Calendar Notebook' is a tradition within the Physics Department at Twilight Peak Academy. Each professor hands it down to their most outstanding student of the session, based on the current trending research topics, to jot down notes whenever.”

“While it originally asks for just notes, these students usually include their own analysis on trending topics and future research directions. The notebook is handed down each generation, typically every four years, from one student to the next after graduation.”

“Mr. Martin has compiled the notes made by his students over the years, binding them annually, much like a regular desk calendar, hence the name ‘Desk Calendar Notebook'.”

Owen had tried to minimize the jargon, opting for straightforward wording, yet it seemed a bit hard to grasp.

Because Norris looked somewhat bewildered after the explanation.

It was as if he was completely lost.
