Penny touched the side of her head as she sauntered to her bed. She could still feel Hugo's warm hand from it. The side of her lips curled up, but when she realized it, she slapped herself awake. @ "What am I so happy about?" she muttered, jumping on the edge of the bed.

It was the reason she ended up getting two Ph.D. However, even her best wasn't enough.
