The next morning, as Christopher Robinson returned from his workout, he saw Amelia Cobb standing by the window, on her cell phone.
She looked serious.
The other end of the line was saying something unknown, Amelia's voice was calm, "If possible, I would like to."
"I will communicate it well."
Christopher Robinson casually took a glass of water from Sadie's hand and drank it. His grey sports shirt outlined his fit and upright figure.
Amelia finished her call and turned around to find Christopher, all sweaty from his workout, standing in the living room, holding his cup and looking at her.
"What happened?"
"Professor wants to go to the Hagoe Conference and asked me if I can go with him."
Christopher Robinson finished the rest of the water and handed the cup over to Amelia, "The Hagoe Conference lasts until July 23rd, can you go?"
"I'm not an official delegate. I'm just attending, so I don't need to be there for the entire duration."
