Chapter 48 Not Impossible, Monumental

• To distract myself from my terrible home situation, I continue to throw myself entirely into my work. I push myself to the limits, even eating at my desk to work through my lunch. I don’t take any breaks during the day, except the occasional five minutes to run to the bathroom.
• Eventually, my work starts to pay off, when even Lila begins to praise my research.
• “I admit I didn’t expect much from you,” Lila says. “But these research reviews you’ve been giving me are both detailed and thoughtful. I wouldn’t have thought you capable of expanding the idea in this direction.”
