====================================================

We took the subway to the Barracks. Ontari had nor replied my email. I did not mentioned this to Clarke who had invited me to her meeting, with Callie Cartwig - an associate professor of psychiatry in the Medical Faculty.

"I'll say you're a fellow researcher," she said to me. "I'd like you to see what I do when I'm not mixing drinks."

I nodded. I had an initial thought that Clarke is going to ask me to be her girlfriend again. It was a relief.

I had never asked Clarke the topic of her PhD. It turned out to be the Environmental Risk for Early Onset Personality Disorder, a serious scientific topic. Clarke's approach and factors were well converse with her 78 minutes session with Callie.

After their conversation we went for coffee where more questions were asked.

"At heart," Callie said to Clarke," its very clear that you're a psychiatrist rather than a psychologist. You've never thought of transferring to Medicine?

"I came from a medicine family," Clarke said. "I kind of like the black sheep of the family."

"Well, if you're done being the black sheep, we've got an excellent MD programme here."

"Right," Clarke rolled her eyes. "Me at Barracks."

"Oh pish-posh. Why not? In fact, since you came all this way to Ark City... Give me a second." She made a quick phone call, then grins. "Come and meet the Dean."

As we walked back to the Medical Building, Clarke said to me, "I hope you're incredibly impressed." Nudging me with her elbow. I am impressed. Clarke is incredibly impressive, for a barmaid.

We arrived at the Dean's office and she stepped out to greet us.

"Lexa!" She said and pulled me for a tight hug and peck both of my cheeks.

"Everytime," I said, struggling to get out of her strong grip.

Ontari laughed, "still same old you, Stiff." I looked at her dead-set. And she laughed even louder. "I just received your email. I haven't got the chance to reply!"

"Unmistakably," I said.

I saw Clarke looking at us, showing a clear level of confusion and I stepped up and said, "Clarke, please meet the dean of Barracks University, Ontari."

Ontari turned to Clarke, "Hi, I'm Ontari. You're with Lexa?"

"Ye-Yes," Clarke stumbled.

"Well lucky her," Ontari grabbed me by the waist and squeezed it before stepping back behind her desk. A high level of anxiety kicked in before Clarke stepped beside me and smiles.

Callie made a Beer Signal causing Ontari to finally realized that one of her professors were there too. "Professor Cartwig, thank you for bringing Clarke and Lexa over. How about we head out for lunch? My treat!"

We all had lunch at the restaurant near the University. Ontari told Clarke that she had supported my O-1 visa application. "I think we both know how our little friend here gets a little out of hand with the government."

Clarke laughed. And I felt the level of anxiety risen and the embarrassment was definitely clear on my face.

"Oh my, are you alright, Lexa?" Callie asked. "You're face is red."
