It had been a week and Karen had been waffling on whether or not she should call Frank. She wanted to, she really did, but even gutsy girls like hers had insecure moments. All she needed was a push, a moment of inspiration. That moment came standing outside of the Pi Kappa Alpha frat house as a party raged on inside.

She was dressed for a party, catching plenty of glances from guys as they headed inside, but she didn’t feel like she belonged there. Karen was actually grateful for that feeling. It would keep her centered and focused on the fact that she was here for serious research.

Karen pulled out her phone and quickly thumbed through her contacts to find Frank, pressing call. She held the phone to her ear and waited.
