Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Roseanne groaned internally, "Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

After snoozing for an hour, Roseanne blinked open her eyes to find it was already 8 AM. She hurriedly got ready and dashed out the door, heading straight to the lab.

Owen noticed she was half an hour late today and looked a bit off. Surprised, he asked, "Rough night?"

Roseanne shook her head, "Not exactly. Just stayed up too late."

Owen raised an eyebrow but didn't pry further.

Roseanne slapped her cheeks lightly, forcing herself to perk up- Time to get to work!

By lunchtime, after eating, Roseanne began to yawn uncontrollably.

Owen saw her struggling and suggested, "Don't push yourself too hard. Why not take a nap in the break room?"

Feeling genuinely exhausted, Roseanne didn't argue.

Owen continued with his work. Two hours later, as he passed by the break room, he remembered Roseanne was still inside. He knocked first, getting no response, "...Roseanne? You okay in there? I'm coming in."

Worried she might be unwell, he gently pushed open the door, only to find her curled up in a corner, a small, peaceful bundle, breathing evenly in deep sleep.

He sighed in relief, and the next second, couldn't help but chuckle.
