Chapter 446

Early the following morning, Roxanne saw the message Larry had sent last night as soon as she awakened. It read: Are you free tomorrow? How about a meal together? She mulled over her work that day before texting back: At noon, then. We'll have lunch near the research institute.

On the other end of the phone, Larry promptly agreed.

As soon as it was noon, Roxanne received a call from Larry.

"Have you finished your work? I'm waiting for you at the research institute gates." Larry's voice rang out the instant she answered the call.
