Roseanne paused for a beat before realizing he was addressing her.

"Only a handful of diners around Kingswell University serve decent food. Running into each other isn't strange, is it?"

She had wanted to snap back the moment Grace repeatedly mentioned how "coincidental" it was.

Coincidental? Really?

Was it such a rare occurrence to bump into classmates at a local eatery?

Why did everyone seem to use that as a conversation starter?

Roseanne couldn't help but feel it was phony and forced.

Murray: "Are you upset?"

Roseanne looked puzzled: "?"

This was the first time she had really observed him since their breakup.
