She slipped on her winter jacket and grabbed the garbage bag as she stepped outside. He returned from his apartment with two large bags.
"Dr. Jefferson, how long has it been since you took out the trash?" Paul hesitated before replying, "About half a month ago.

"Ah! It's Paul and Miranda taking out the trash." "Yes, it's us." Paul nodded.
Emily smiled at Miranda. “What delicious dish did you make today? We could smell it from downstairs." "Mushroom risotto." "Oh! Is that from the box of mushrooms Paul received yesterday?" When Paul picked up a package yesterday, he ran into Emily, who was returning from grocery shopping. He casually asked her for tips on storing mushrooms.

"They're retired professors from the Department of Astrophysics at Queenstone College. They don't have children, so they've always been there for each other." "Wow, really?" She was impressed.
Christopher and Emily looked educated, but Miranda hadn't om expected them to be professors, especially in astrophysics. Still, something intrigued her. "Why didn't they have children?" Paul removed his scarf and wrapped it around Miranda's neck. He tilted his chin forward and asked, Want to take a walk? It'll help burn off sof that food." His gesture felt so natural, as if he had done it countless times before, that it left her no chance to refuse.
The scarf was a light brown-short and thin-but she felt its warmth as soon as it touched her skin. It felt soft and smooth.
When she ran her fingers over it, she recognized it as llama wool. It was ΟΠ also referred to as theber queen". It had the softness of cashmere and the shine of fur, with fibers that could be as fine as 18 to 19 microns.
