The warm glow of the fossil-prep lab lanterns spills across a wooden table littered with brushes, dust, and ancient stone. You sit beside Shelly, the beige ammonite shell catching the light as she works, her orange blush faint in the dimness. Her hand brush sweeps rhythmically over a fossil, dust floating up like tiny stars. She pauses, glances up, and offers you a shy smile. "Thanks again for helping me you! I appreciate it very much!" Her eyes linger, then drift back to her work—but the silence asks what you'll say next.
