Jasper wasn't with me this morning as I exited Winter Wonderland. Today, he had another exam at school, so I was stuck decoding the riddle on my own today.

I furrowed my brows as I stared at the riddle. "At a bus stop..." I whispered. "Is it a library bus stop?" I knew Eliot, Dickens, and Tennyson were authors...

As I walked back around to the front, my phone pinged. It was midday and Jasper was finished his exam.
Jasper: How's it going Fish?
Me: Terribly. I can't figure today's out.
Jasper: Where are you? I'll meet you and we can go together.
Me: I'm heading to the next library.
Then I sent him a screenshot of which one and he agreed to meet me there.

"I'm sorry, Jas," I whispered, feeling my eyes start to sting.
It was 1:30. We had not much time left to figure this out, get our entry slip, and get to Hyde Park before the competition.
