Max rarely ignored people, but Jacob was one of the people he doesn’t like.
Not even a wag of the tail did Jacob receive as he passed by Max.
Rose stood there, her heart pounding like a drum in her chest. Had Jacob noticed something? Was that why he came warning her?
But turned out, it was just because Rosalynn was entrusting her with a new project, and there was a palpable fear of failure hanging in the air—a fear that Rose could mess it all up.
The vacation had been blissful.
Rose spent three carefree days at Moonlit Lake, where the only worries were what to eat next and which book to read on the tranquil banks. After a brief return to the grindstone at the office, she found herself on a plane to Berlin with Rosalynn.d2
In Berlin, while Rosalynn was in high-level meetings, meetings that Rose wasn't a part of, Rose's thoughts wandered elsewhere. She buzzed her lab buddies back home and set up a meeting.
Rosalynn's Berlin stay was a brief three days before they were off to Munich.
That's where Penn picked them up from the airport. His hair was a disheveled nest atop his head, and he looked lost in thought as he waited for them, alone.
Without her by his side, it was clear Penn's world was a bit of a mess, and Rose couldn't help but feel a smug satisfaction at the sight.
"Dr. Lange," Rosalynn broke the silence, snapping Penn out of his trance.
He approached them with a warm smile, glancing at Rose. "Rose hasn't been any trouble, has she?"
