   Summary

   A year in the life of Dr. Adam J. Carlsen after his serendipitous bathroom meeting with Olive Smith.

   Also known as: The Love Hypothesis Prequel: Adam's Perspective. Inspired by Ali Hazelwood's two bonus chapters from Adam's point-of-view.

   Will there be a plot? Not really - unless you count 'pining' as a plot. Will there be a frigid scientist fighting against his subconscious regarding a certain student in his department? You bet!
