“Ah, yes Dr. Kenner. Your party is already at the table. Would you like to join them now?” Emma checked the time on her HUD, worried that she was late but it read 6:59. “Thank you, yes.” As she followed the Maitre d’ through the restaurant she was surprised to see that Roger and Ell were in the same restaurant having dinner. There was a momentary pang at the thought that they appeared to be getting along great. Emma had occasional fantasies about being there to comfort Roger if he and Ell broke up—or whatever you called it when you weren’t really boyfriend-girlfriend—she’d had a crush on Roger for years now. Ell was disguised as “Ellen” which wasn’t too surprising considering how much she’d been in the news lately. Once again Emma wondered if she should have asked them about the possibility of getting a job at D5R? She’d certainly love to work on the kinds of things that they were working on. But she’d decided that she shouldn’t presume on their friendship...at least unless she got to be desperate for a job.
