“Kels, this is Noah… the theoretical physicist.”
Kelsey’s grin turned positively wicked.
Liora turned toward Noah, but couldn’t quite meet his eyes. “Noah, you’ve heard about Kelsey.”
Kelsey stepped forward, extending her hand. “Oh, you’re the Noah. The one she enjoys researching with every night.”
Noah shook her hand, clearly amused. “Yes, we’ve been enjoying our research every night.”
He paused, just long enough to make it worse. “Liora made quite a discovery last night.”
Kelsey’s eyebrows lifted slowly.
Liora seriously considered walking into her office and never coming back out.
“Oh she did, did she?”
Kelsey was originally supposed to flirt with Noah in this scene, and he was supposed to ignore it because he only was too nerdy to notice flirting.
​
But he ended up being a lot more of a menace than I originally planned.
