Chapter 54 - Festivities

Robin and Mae drive to the restaurant in her car. "Sorry, my friend was supposed to pick me up, so I just walked to the library."

"No problem at all. Do you live nearby?"

"Yeah, in the street across the library."

"Oh is it? I'm a regular at the library and that place too, I've never seen you before though."

"I just moved in there for my PhD."

"Wow! PhD in?"

"English literature."

"Wha-" Mae's mouth opens wide. "What a coincidence! I'm a literature student, just finished my masters last year."

"Really!? What are the odds of meeting a literature student at a library, right?" Robin mimics her excitement.

Mae realises he was teasing her and frowns at him. "I just got excited okay, it's been so long since I met someone from that field."

"Sorry, just kidding. That is really cool, what are you doing now?"

"Freelance writing as of now, but planning to pursue a PhD later."

"You know whom to approach for help if any, then."
