Roseanne nodded, "You could say that."

But Mamie couldn't help but frown, "Even though that's pretty satisfying, do you think the university will go for it? They're not fools."

"The professor said she'll handle the university. We just need to focus on our project and do our thing."

"That's awesome! It's like we're our own bosses now!" Mamie stuffed a couple of cookies into her mouth, reveling in their deliciousness. "Ah, if only we had some hot chocolate to go with this..."

"Hello?"

"Hi there, delivery. Could you come out and grab your hot chocolate? I can't get in."

Roseanne was puzzled.

"It wasn't me."
