Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 561

Roseanne quickly got herself together, slipping into her down jacket and scarf as she raced downstairs.

Reaching the bottom, she found a crowd of kids already out and about, each armed with their own set of tools, enjoying the winter's first snowfall a rare treat indeed. Standing apart from the crowd, under a snow-covered tree, Owen Reynolds watched her with a smile.

Roseanne's eyes lit up, and she dashed over to him.

Owen Reynolds said, "For you to enjoy."

Wow!

Roseanne excitedly waved him over: "Professor! Look at this duck! Doesn't it look just like one?!"

"And this little dinosaur, too cute!"

"Professor, could you use this little shovel to scoop up some clean snow from over there? I want the pure white kind, not a speck of dirt-" "Professor-"
