"I feel the same. I'm always tired of having people referring to me as the teaching a.s.sistant when I go out. I can't mess up or doing anything fun." Nolan peeked at her from the shadow of his hood. "What would I look like if I was just enjoying college?"

He looked out at the buildings that they were imposingly large against the dark sky. Nolan tried to look at her without drawing her gaze. Her face was harsh with delicate angles and beautiful lines. She did have deep wrinkles under her eyes and her hair was streaked with highlights of gray.
