Miranda had forgotten to contact one person.

In the afternoon, Paul called her to check how things were going on her end. At that moment, she was busy in the lab. They exchanged a few quick words before hanging up, and her last words had been, “I’ll contact you once I’m done, okay?”

“Are you tired?” he asked.

“It’s okay. I’ll be here whenever you
