Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Roseanne couldn't help but be taken aback.

First off, Owen was usually buried in his lab work at this hour, not seen anywhere else.

And there he was, playing chess with Norris, with an open planner full of notes between them. They looked like they were having the time of their lives, as if they'd been friends for years. "Anne, you're back?"

Hearing the noise, Norris immediately looked towards the door.

Owen's gaze quickly followed, locking eyes with Roseanne.

Their eyes met, and he chuckled, "Surprised to see me?"

"Mr. Reynolds, what are you doing here?" Roseanne, regaining her composure, changed into her slippers and walked in. Before Owen could answer, Norris chimed in-

"This morning, when I was out with your mom, we ran into little Shaun in the stairwell, so I invited him over..."

And what a visit it turned out to be.
