Nodding slowly, Mrs. Erinze turns and walks toward the door. As she reaches for the knob, she pauses and glances back over her shoulder at you. "Thank you, Curt," she says softly. Her voice is thick with emotion, making it difficult to tell if she means gratitude or something else entirely.

With one last look, she opens the door and steps out into the hallway, leaving you alone in your office once again.

Mrs Erinze spends the next several hours trying to make sense of what just happened. She can't believe that JR would offer her such a ridiculous proposition - or that she might actually want it. As she walks through the halls of the university, her mind replays their kiss over and over again, her body responding despite her best efforts to ignore it.

Finally, she finds herself in front of the library doors, lost in thought. She takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly as she tries to clear her head.
