The Last Yes
I glanced at the last two chances for forgiveness I was holding onto and finally spoke, "Alright, thanks, professor."
Just then, Walter walked in.
"Who were you talking to? The professor?" he inquired, curiosity in his eyes.
He dropped a bag on the table, the contents hidden from view.
I ended the call and faced him, trying to keep my voice even. "Nothing important, just some questions."
Walter's frown deepened, his gaze probing. "What kind of questions? It's pretty late for that, isn't it?"
I met his gaze, my own brows knitting together. "Just about an experiment, nothing to worry about."
