Marta gave Anna a polite wave as she came in and got back to work. She stared at the Checksum. Going back and forth between the book and the document was frustrating.
”God, I need another monitor,” she mumbled to herself.
The worst part was she knew what she had to do, just didn’t know how to do it. Looking at the textbook, it was all there, but she wasn’t focused enough to absorb it. Marta was feeling frustrated. She just wanted it all to stick. She groaned and began lightly banging her head on the table.
Marta smelled Anna before she sat down. ”Marta, are you okay?”
Marta sighed. ”Yeah, I’m fine. Just none of this is sticking right now. It’s not that complicated, I just…” her voice trailed off as she looked up and saw Anna’s eyes - golden just like hers.
Anna laughed. ”Its an illusion, Marta. Just a trick of my magic.” Marta smiled. ”You've been studying all day, I’m assuming. Take a break and come back to it later with a fresh mind. Maybe that will help.” Anna said. ”How about you take a walk with me - get to know each other better.”
Marta smiled. It sounded like a good plan. She checked the time to make sure. ”Okay - that sounds fun. I just need to keep an eye on the time. I have to take over Lily duty soon.” Marta closed her laptop and stood up to walk with Anna.
