Roseanne had been grinding through two exam papers in the library, stumbling over each final question. She racked her brain for ages, to no avail, and then remembered seeing a similar problem in a book. She got up and headed to the lending area to search for that book and its problem type.
After a few minutes of searching, she found it and was about to return to her seat when a book caught her eye.
The title was "Genetic Sequences: Recombination and Fusion." And she remembered something Owen had said, prompting her to pull the book from the shelf.
As she flipped through the pages, she was surprised that the book’s viewpoint resonated deeply with her thoughts. She turned more pages, her excitement growing, and she became completely engrossed in the material.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket, and a message popped on the screen.
Leda: [Guess where I am?]
Roseanne thought it was some word game and was about to reply when a thought struck her. [You're at school, aren't you?]
[Bingo!]
Immediately after Roseanne stepped out of the library, she saw a figure standing under a tree.
"What brings you here all of a sudden?"
"Just passing by and thought I'd bring you some treats." Leda lifted a bag, the delicious aroma wafting through the air. "I've made the delivery, so I should be off."
"Aren't you going to join me?" Roseanne asked.
Leda waved her off. "It's all for you. I've got tons to do." She sighed, "I’ve just taken on a new project and been busy with work for three days. I only slept eight hours in total these few days. I woke up to my dad summoning me. It's just madness!"
