Professor Mercer’s Perspective

It has been 48 hours, and there has been no communication from Peter.

James asserts that Peter is unresponsive, as he has made multiple attempts to reach him by phone.

Sophie was contemplating that she should have taken Peter's number.

Sophie was contemplating that it would have been more favorable if Peter had confirmed receipt of the letter or even sent a photo of it.

Over the weekends, she had no office work, which allowed her more free time for overthinking.

Furthermore, the incident from 2015 and the circumstances surrounding Brenda's mother's death were weighing heavily on her mind.

As Sophie contemplated all these thoughts, she became distracted when Brenda entered the room.

Brenda informed, "Professor Mercer is here, and we need to head out for a donation. Are you prepared?"

Sophie responded, "Yes, I know. Just give me 15 minutes."

Brenda inquired, "Why have you seemed so preoccupied since morning?"
