Many had heard rumors that she would be attending this panel Both students and seasoned scholars were buzzing with ---- excitement at the chance to see her in person. Seeing them arrive, Professor Liam said to Julia, "Apologies, Miss Brown-Mr. Gray and Miss Miller just got here.
The Dean and I should go greet them." Julia's smile faltered slightly. While chatting with students earlier, she had overheard many of them talking excitedly about Maggie. That's how she learned how eagerly everyone was anticipating Maggie's appearance-how much they hoped to meet her face-to-face and ask her questions directly.

"Oh my god, she's gorgeous!" "It's already unfair how brilliant she is-but now this? She's drop-dead beautiful too. I'm dying of envy." ---- "She and Mr. Gray look so good together. Are they a couple? They're both absolute legends in their field-so well matched. It's like they're made for each other."
