Judith closed her book, paying undivided attention to him as he went on about he believes and ideas. Everything about him fascinated her; his voice was like music, soft and whispery. He talked slowly, and every detail of his story seemed to come alive as he spoke, his hands moving to embellish his words. That moment felt right, and she found herself thinking maybe their stars really aligned and this could be destiny.
After about an hour into the entertaining and amusing conversation, Tony excused himself, saying he was going for a fellowship somewhere on campus. He stood up, told her he enjoyed their conversation and left after saying goodbye.

If she had made him go crazy as he claimed, how will he leave without her number or means of contact?
