She closed her laptop, gathered several folders, and pointed to her briefcase. “Put them in there.”
Her handbag strapped to her shoulder, briefcase in hand, she switched off the light. “Sorry, I have to leave you in the dark.”
“No problem.”
“Lock it when you leave.”
A few minutes later, she called him. “The corridor is clear. Get out, lock the door, and turn left. Go to the end of the hall. I’m at the entrance to the stairs. We won’t take the elevator.”

They settled into his car, and he drove off. “Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll visit again.”
“Too bad.”
“On Saturday, we’re still on for dinner with Matt and Brenda, right?”
Susan nodded. “Right. I told Mae I couldn’t wait to meet their baby.”

“I hope I can be back by Thursday.”
“I don’t have classes on Wednesday. I’ll cancel the Tuesday class and give them a research project to work in the library,” she mused aloud. “If I can be back in time for my Thursday class…”
“I’ll make sure you’re back on time.”
“Then I’m coming.”
Her lovely smile was worth every effort he would make to shorten his meetings and be done on Thursday.
