Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

"Alright," Roseanne nodded, "I'll post the address in the group chat. I'll head out to grab some groceries first. You guys join in after you're done." "Got it!"

Stoddard chimed in, "Should we let Owen know?"

Jen replied, "Why don't you text him?"

"Sure thing." Stoddard took out his phone, saying, "I'll check if he's out of class yet..."

At 2 pm, Roseanne shut down her computer, tidied up the lab bench, and snuck out quietly.

Just as she stepped out, she bumped into Owen.

"Off to get groceries?" he asked.

Roseanne was slightly surprised, "How did you know?"

"Yeah, got a message from Chuck. Let's go?"

"What?"

Owen offered, "Aren't we heading to the supermarket? I can drive you."

"Are you not busy today?"

Owen shrugged, "Not too busy."

It's all about priorities, after all.
