Sheldon's routine is ruined on a Thursday.
Every weekday he walks into Caltech and passes the secretary. He nods and lets out a, "Hello Ms. Rand." As it is polite to do so, and then continues to his office.
However, this Thursday there is a problem.
He walks past the secretary and after saying his hello he pauses and turns back around.
Instead of Ms. Rand sitting at the large desk there is another blond, this one with bottle green eyes. He stares at her for a moment and watches her face curve into an amused grin.
"Ms. Rand is sick today." The girl, woman pipes up then. "I usually work in the engineering department, but there's two of us over there so I volunteered to work over here." She said.
Leonard finally makes his way in the building. He likes to dawdle in the parking lot. Sheldon watches the way he begins to twist his hands together and decides that its not worth watching his friend 'crash and burn' as the colloquial term goes.
He turns around then and as he walks to his office he wonders what her name was.
