Evening had just fallen as class ended.
Owen Moreland's call came in, perfectly timed.
Amelia Clarke thought of the news she had received from Professor Murphy two hours ago, and couldn't help but smile as she stared at the two characters '博渊' (Owen) on the screen.
Viola Harris saw her honeyed expression and rolled her eyes disdainfully.
Amelia Clarke slid the screen to answer the call.
The deep and magnetic male voice spoke first from the other side of the phone, "I have a dinner engagement tonight. Make sure you eat at home and go to bed early." After a pause, he added, "I'll be home before 9:30."
Amelia Clarke gently "hmm"ed in response.
That sound was filled with the thick sweetness and happiness of a little girl.
