The news, relayed in a brief phone call, hit Eleanor with a wave of warmth. Dr. Chen was moving to a consultancy, leaving behind the hushed halls of the university. It was a good thing, a better opportunity. Eleanor couldn't help but feel a lightness in her step.

She spent the following week organizing Dr. Chen's office, alphabetizing files, cleaning out the lab equipment, and ensuring everything was in perfect order. She knew it was a small gesture, but the satisfaction she felt in completing each task was immense.

The act of service provided comfort. She was so thankful for the steady support that had seen her through the most difficult times in her research.
