Her eyes light up at the offer and she returns his handshake enthusiastically. "It's nice to meet you, Professor Madrone. My name is Adia Costas, and I would love to help to help you with your research." So long as she has the time, although she'd be willing to make time for this.

She looks a bit confused as well. She hadn't expected Josh to simply hand over the ball and walk away. "Josh?" she calls out tentatively. "Hold on a minute, okay?"

Reaching into her bag, she pulls out a pen and paper and jots down her name and PINpoint number. "Here's my contact information," she says, offering it to the professor. "If you can text me the address of your lab, I'll be sure to come by soon."

She'd love to stay and chat more with the professor, but she'd rather not abandon Josh, who seems to have abandoned the conversation.
