CHAPTER 21

JACK

“I’d say Taryn Moore’s a shoo-in,” Ray McGuire said. He’d just come out of the grad committee meeting, and he stood in Jack’s doorway, grinning at him. “Her application’s so strong we waived the deadline requirement.”

“That’s great! She’ll be thrilled to hear it.”

“Official acceptance letters don’t go out for another few weeks, but the vote was unanimous. She’s got a three-nine-something GPA. And her letters of recommendation all read like she’s the next Gloria Steinem.”

Jack couldn’t help but feel a bolt of pride. “She’s really psyched about the program.”

“I hope she didn’t apply to Harvard.”

“Nope. Just here. This was her first choice.”

“Excellent. The writing sample she submitted was a paper she wrote for you on The Aeneid. I’m not up on classical scholarship, but it actually looks publishable. An elegant analysis that Virgil’s really telling us, through subtext, that instead of committing suicide, Queen Dido should have thrust that sword into Aeneas.” He laughed. “Kind of a scary take on it, actually.” He turned to leave, then paused. “By the way, if she joins our program, she’ll raise our female hotness average from its current minus five. But I guess that’s not very PC of me to say, eh?”

“You are a superficial sexist pig.”

Ray smiled. “Yeah, and proud of it.”
