The Calm Before the Storm.

Two afternoons later, Tessa was at the Navoris University library, reading while mapping out ideas for a medical paper.

For most med students, that kind of thing was a pipe dream–many didn’t even think about writing research until senior year. But she was only a freshman and already had a clear direction.

Ysabel showed up with two iced coffees in hand.
