After the run-in with Blake at the bakery, while being stuck in a rain storm, she returned to the library only to be informed the system she’d been working diligently on crashed sometime while she was out. All of the work she processed that day was lost. As she became overly involved in her rework, she didn’t notice the time flying by. Veronica didn’t pull her eyes from the screen until she realized how quiet the library became. Almost four hours had passed since Hayley and Sherry called their goodbyes and went home for the weekend. She wondered why Arthur hadn’t come in to get her once he left work. But then again, with his mood swings lately, she wouldn’t have put it past him to have waited for a little while, and then drove home without her. After collecting her things, including her cinnamon buns she picked up for dessert that evening, Veronica headed home. It was darker out than she would’ve hoped, but she walked as fast as she could. While walking she decided after they ate dinner, she would need a nice hot bubble bath with a glass of wine.
