The news arrived during the Friday afternoon seminar. The announcement about Professor Davies' departure was met with polite murmurs, but within Liam, a different reaction erupted. A quiet, internal celebration began.

He suppressed a giggle, biting his lip to keep a straight face. His heart felt light, as if a great burden had been removed. The lecture continued, but Liam barely registered the words.
