As Meredith pulled her car up at North Ivy, Alex came running over to get a ride home. "How was school today?" Meredith smiled.
Alex removed her backpack and hopped in the car. "Fine. I don't have much homework today," she said as she put on her seatbelt. She closed her door and pressed the button to lock all the doors.
"I got an email earlier from Uncle Samuel’s employer, Linda Wise. She's invited us to attend her first research meeting today. I thought it would be fun to go. Do you want to join me?" Meredith asked just before driving away from the school.
"Sure. Do we have time to go home first and get something to eat? I'm hungry," Alex said. Meredith began to drive them home.
"Of course. The meeting doesn't start until 4:00 pm."
"Why does it start so late?"
"I think it's because Linda hasn't retired yet from her financial business so she works at that for most of the day and then uses her last two hours from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm to meet with her research team."
"Are there any leftovers from dinner still?"
"There sure are," Meredith beamed.
"Can I have that?" Alex asked.
"I think there's enough for us to share. But only for the two of us," Meredith said with a quick wink of her eye. Alex smiled.
