Overview

Gregory: Maybe it’s odd that an astrophysicist would spend his weekend before a big conference cutting hair, but it’s my creative outlet. Frankly, it’s closer to community outreach with all of these pandemic styles. Speaking of which, a weird guy with a huge beard and crazy salt-and-pepper hair just walked in. He’s got pretty eyes, I’ll give him that. But sir, I’m a scientist, not a miracle worker. Cal: I may have scared the adorable, teal-haired stylist over at Berry’s salon. Not that I blame him: I saw my reflection in the sliding glass door this morning and nearly dropped my coffee. Here’s hoping he can help me to upgrade from unkempt Yeti to silver fox in time for tomorrow’s conference. Or at least in time for me to get his number. Opposites attract, instalove, 11k words
