Kapitel 114: Unheard Of

Keeley arrived home from another long day in the lab ready to keel over. One of her samples got contaminated somehow so she had to scrap an entire trial. This would delay her research by a minimum of two weeks.

She ran into Aiden outside her front door and he looked concerned when he saw the state she was in. "Rough day?"

"Yeah," she said with a heavy sigh. "There was a lab accident and it totally screwed up my research project. I have to start one of my trials over."

"Yikes. Sorry about that. If you wait a minute, I have some Swedish chocolate I can give you. My girlfriend introduced it to me a couple of months ago when I visited and it's pretty good," he offered cheerfully.

She smiled at him. That was really sweet. "Sure, I'd love to try some. Thanks, Aiden!"

"Be right back!" He disappeared into his apartment for a moment and reappeared with an unfamiliar chocolate bar. "This is a Marabou milk chocolate bar; it's the best one."
