+Tea, -Bra

Dr. Perelman opened the door and was shocked to her one of her best students in nothing but her underwear and shoes.

"Dr. Gomez!" Dr. Perelman shouted in shock in her thick Russian accent, "Where are your clothes?!"

"Dr. Perelman, so good to see you!" Kacey could only hug the nonplussed professor. "I see you got that grant recently!"

"Yes, yes," Dr. Perelman deflected the conversation before the realization started hitting her. "Wait... you were the one from the commencement, yes?"

"Yes, that was me!" Kacey beamed with pride, still not fully understanding what Dr. Perelman was getting at.

"Well, I mean you've always been adventurous," Dr. Perelman conceded, "come, let's have tea."

Kacey and Brooke entered the office, where Dr. Perelman quickly handed Kacey a cup of hot black tea. Brooke was a bit miffed she didn't get any, but was content to photograph the almost-wholesome interaction.

"So, how've you been? Any new startups?" Dr. Perelman moved to a more productive topic.

"Well," Kacey had forgotten all about that in the course of her day, "AI is breaking through, and quantum supremacy seems to be a couple of years away, so I've dabbled in a few with the money I've saved up from working at Starbucks."

"Good, good," the professor nodded her head as she and Kacey finished their drinks and she showed Kacey the door.

"Hold on," Kacey quickly turned around before Dr. Perelman could close the door. "Your hospitality needs some reciprocation!"

Before Dr. Perelman could say or do anything, Kacey just undid her bra, stuffed it in the professor's hand, and turned to walk away as Brooke followed her.

The next stop was particularly exciting. Dr. Hilbert had been Kacey's advisor, and in fact as the chair of the Mathematics Department he was actually on stage at the commencement, next to the other department chairs and directly behind Kacey and her gown. Unfortunately, in the haste to get her commencement speech up and running, and in the chaos of the lost and found caper, she hadn't yet had the chance to go see him yet. Until now, that is.
