70 Boston's Neuroscientist

 I thought about what had just happened. It was a fantasy come true. It was so hot.

The moment we were holding each other tight was such a wonderful feeling.

After lounging for an hour or so, we dressed and settled on the sofa to watch a horror movie. Midway through, I turned to Oliv.

"Thinking about joining me in Norway this May?" I asked.

Oliv responded with a puzzled look, asking, "Norway, for what?"

I grinned and replied, "I need to receive the Able Prize."

Her eyes widened in surprise, "You need to? Or you want to?"

I chuckled, replying, "Well, I want to."

She smiled, reassured, "Sure, I should be able to find time."

"Cool," I said, and we resumed watching the movie.

As the morning sunlight filled the room, Oliv and I enjoyed a shared breakfast after her overnight stay. As she prepared to leave, a sudden realization hit me. "Oh! What do you want for your birthday?" I asked.
