What's Up, Doc?

by

Doc met Rose in their second week of graduate school, struck up a conversation with her while she made their latte, and within approximately three minutes had found her to be more curious, more thoughtful, and generally brighter than most of their classmates. Within a week they’d given her an index card with their login information to give her access to the university’s databases and online courses. Within a month, it became their habit to spend Sunday afternoons together on the quad and Sunday evenings in the library, with Doc up to their eyeballs in readings on theoretical physics and Rose flipping in a leisurely manner between a novel and the Cambridge Companion to said novel. Now, a year later, they’re something close to married. Doc turns up a precise two minutes after the end of Rose’s shift on their improbable Vespa, and off they go to whatever corner of the city they haven’t yet explored or, if it’s a time of acute academic stress, to the library which, Doc insists, was the most reliable source of adventure in any case.
