Just before getting in, Landon asked, "The physics competition is right after New Year's, isn't it? When does it start exactly?"

He remembered she had to travel to Simonville after the holidays, but wasn't sure about the date. He hoped it wouldn't overlap with her eighteenth birthday.

Landon let out a silent breath of relief.
