SUBJECT: Re: Report on Pancreatic Cance r Study

Olive,

Done reading the report. Do you think you co uld co me over
to Adam’s to chat about it ? Maybe tomorrow morning (Tue)

at nine? Adam and I will be leaving for Boston on Wed
afternoon.

Olive’s heart beat faster—whether at the idea of being in Adam’s home

or at the thought of getting her answer from Tom, she wasn’t sure. She
immediately texted Adam.

Olive: Tom just invited me to your place to talk about the report

I sent him. Would it be okay if I came over?
Adam: Of course. When?

Olive: Tomorrow at 9 a.m. Will you be home?
Adam: Probably. There are no bike lanes to my house. Do you

need a ride? I can pick you up.
She thought about it for a few moments and decided that she liked the

idea a little too much.

Olive: My roommate can drive me, but thanks for offering.
