Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 870

Scales's eyes sharpened.

"Ah, who cares!" Mamie waved a hand dismissively. "Why overthink it? If the university really wants something, they'll come to us. We'll find out then, right? No point in guessing."

"You're right," Roseanne agreed. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Nothing to be afraid of."

"Exactly! We just published another paper in Nature Biotechnology! Shouldn't we be celebrating something so awesome?"

"We should."

Mamie then looked at Scales, who also nodded.

"Great! Let's go out for a big meal tonight to celebrate! There's a new Thai place that just opened on Maple Road. I saw it on Instagram; the reviews are amazing. I was dying to try it even when I was back home!"

The Mamie-brand food finder was officially online.

Since their lab was on the outskirts, she always called any trip into the city proper "going into town."

Scales's mouth twitched. "Can't we celebrate some other way?"

"We could get steak," Mamie offered.

"Or Italian? I'm fine with anything, really!"

"..."

In the end, the three of them went to the Thai restaurant.

By the time they finished, it was already eight o'clock.

The night was dark, illuminated by the bright city lights.

"By the way, I haven't seen Carlson around, have you?" Mamie suddenly remembered looking back at the lab area before they left and noticing that Carlson's workstation was completely clean.

"I haven't seen him at all since the semester started," Scales said. "Roseanne, have you?"
