Scene 12 - A Letter Resurfaces

Expected scene: David drives to the Hughes home unannounced in the early evening.  Rolled 7 against a CF of 7, so scene is altered.  On Scene Adjustment Table rolled another 7 - Make 2 Adjustments.  Add An Object & Reduce / Remove An Activity.  

The day goes by with David being distracted by his excitement of making tenure, and his anxiety about how to deal with Chad Hughes.  While rummaging through some papers on his desk, he found Catherine Hughes' letter!  He can't believe it!  Now he doesn't have to put himself in an awkward situation by dropping by unannounced.  

Can he muster the mental stamina to make the phone call?  GURPS self-control roll against his Chronic Depression 10 against 12 - success.

David dials the number.  It's after school so he assumes Catherine is home with her son.

Does Catherine pick up phone?  50/50, Rolled Yes.

Catherine answers and immediately David apologizes for the delay in the return phone call.  He embarrassingly explains that he had misplaced her letter with the number.  While he thinks of it he gives her his number in case she would like to contact him directly in the future.  Catherine suggests that David comes over tonight after dinner if he's available, to which he agrees.  Even though Monday evenings are the NICPP meetings, talking with Chad is more important at this point.  David takes the time to ask if Catherine would be OK if he brought a colleague, to which Catherine agrees.
