Her Safe Place
The two friends went downstairs to check what kind of beverages were available and found coffee, tea, and a bottle of coke. Perfect. The experiment called for three different types of colored drinks anyway.
Violet brewed the coffee and tea as Noah carefully followed instructions he found online to suck the egg out of an eggshell without breaking it. The experiment specifically called for eggshells only.
They took three cups up to his room to keep them safe from the dog and set them on his desk. She poured one drink into each cup and then dropped one hollowed out eggshell into each one.
"It's about 5:30 so make sure you check them the same time every day from here on out," Violet instructed. "Make a chart for each day and cup and watch the results for a week. Super simple. I can help you put together your poster board for the fair after that."
"You're an angel, Vi," Noah said fervently. "I never would have been able to come up with something like this."
