The lights of Paris were wonderful and romantic, especially at night time. But there was nothing wonderful or romantic inside the DCPJ Cryptology Department. Sophie Neveu was working overtime at DCPJ. If she wanted to take a week off from work, well obviously she had to do a week's work. Sophie sighed as she put down her cup of coffee. She looked at the calendar which was hanging on the cubicle wall and saw the 3rd of May circled. It has been almost a month since Robert Langdon left Paris. She remembered that evening in Scotland, when they had their first kiss. Now it was one more week to go until they get to meet each other again, this time in Florence. The coffee was ineffective as Sophie began to doze off. She picked up her cup of coffee and began to sip it. Her hand felt weak after typing for almost 8 hours and now the coffee was tipping, and a few drops fell on her skirt. Sophie felt the hot coffee on her lap and sighed again. She got out of her seat and headed for the restroom.
Meanwhile, a girl (about 12) sneaked passed Sophie and headed toward her cubicle. There, she left a mysterious package and vanished. When Sophie came back to her cubicle, she first noticed the package. She sat down and examined it. It was wrapped in brown paper and tied with a shoe lace. Packages these days. Sophie took the chance and opened it. When she opened it, she was surprised. It was a book and its cover read: The Sacred Feminine by Robert Langdon. Sophie picked up brown paper wrap to see if there was a name of who it was from. Nothing. Sophie sighed and killed some time by reading the book. When she turned the cover over she gasped. She found an airplane ticket to Boston, Massachusetts and a mysterious note. She unfolded the note and it read: Go Get Him. At that instant Sophie knew what to do.
The next day….
It 7 o'clock at night in Cambridge and Robert Langdon sat down quietly at the Professor Appreciation party at Harvard. Sitting at the same table with him were Jonas Faukman, the secretary Linda Kratt, and Robert's competing rival Professor William Benson. "So Robert, I heard somebody might get the professor of the year award." said Jonas. "By the way, who do you think deserves the reward?" asked Linda. "It should be me." said William, staring at Langdon's eyes in a menacing way. "Well William, I guess we should have faith decide." said Robert and looked up at the stage.
The math teacher Professor Daniel Collins walked up the stage carrying an envelope and took hold of the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, as being a professor in Harvard for 10 years, I would like to give the Professor of the Year Award. This year's award are 2 airplane tickets to San Francisco and he or she will be staying at Mark Hopkins Hotel. Now the professors here in Harvard had voted for the professor worthy for this special prize. And now, the professor of the year goes to," said Daniel and took out the letter " it goes to Professor Robert Langdon!" he said and walked down to the audience toward Robert. "Here you go Robert." he said and gave another envelope to him. The audience clapped and Jonas was rooting for him. When the claps died down, Jonas started to talk. "Well Robert, looks like you are going the City by the Bay." said Jonas. "Congratulations, Robert." said Linda. William just grinned and turned away. "So who are you bringing?" asked Jonas. "What? What do you mean?" asked Robert. "C'mon, you have two tickets. Who are you bringing? I mean, you can always bring me you know." said Jonas. Robert knew he is going to regret this one. William suddenly turned around and looked at Langdon. "Might as well give it to me, Robert. My wife and I will enjoy San Francisco." said William. "Like hell you. C'mon Robert, so who are you going to bring." asked Jonas. Robert didn't know who to choose. "Wow, look at that lady." said Jonas suddenly. Robert turned to where Jonas was looking. Robert was surprised. He remembered that face. He remembered their first kiss in Scotland. "I think I know who." said Robert and got out of his seat and sneaked up to the woman. "We meet again Miss Sophie Neveu." said Robert right behind her. Sophie turned. "Hey Robert." she said.
A/N: I'll update soon. Don't worry, they are going to San Francisco and right after that Florence. This is also my very first story and I am usually bad at this but I promise the rest of the story is going to be interesting.
