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."
