ODDS OF LOVE SEASON TWELVE

Episode 34

Faith stood in the too damn long line at the coffeehouse in the college student union building. She glanced at the time on her phone. Ten minutes until she needed to get across the campus to her third class; one she had chosen just because it looked interesting. Probably would not help her in education but hell she could use it as an elective right? Intro to Journalism 101 which also would have them working on the college newspaper The Raven's Nest. Any longer in this line and she would be late.

" This line gets longer every semester," she heard from behind her and she turned to groan as she saw the amused face of Dr. Ada Abara.

Ada smiled at her. " Well. Hello , Faith. Long time no hear. "

Faith bit her lip. " Of all the college coffee houses in the world you would have to wander into mine, Professor. "

The woman twinkled those pensive intelligent eyes at her and said," Trust. It has zero to do with your disloyal behind. Although I am surprised to see you here. Didn't think you were a fan of education. Anyway I need my caffeine addiction fulfilled which is the only reason I am standing in this ridiculous line. " With you , were her unspoken words. "Ask my wife Seraphine that. She's a professor too. She teaches Intro to Journalism. "

Faith wondered just how small this school really was. It was starting to feel like Mayberry. Oh well at least Ada was married. Maybe she was less bitter and vindictive than before when their previous relationship had ended in many angry words and passionate tears. " You're married? Congratulations. I'm engaged myself. To a pastor named Joy Jones. "

Ada lips twitched in a half smile and half smirk. " I'm sorry. For her. So,  you are still ruining women's lives I see. Well , just remember that I am an extremely tough teacher. You have to pass my class with a grade of  ninety five , you know. And I assign two ten page term papers and a group project. I would hate to see you crashing and burning , Officer Lane. Sorry. Former Officer Lane. "

Faith was rethinking that maybe her ex girlfriend was less vindictive and bitter thing. She was also stepping out of the line and moving away with her backpack, calling over her shoulder," I think I'll pass on the coffee for today. Nice seeing you, Ad..... Dr. Abara. "
