“Please, have a seat.” Bishop Weiss gestured for Leon Set to sit beside a tea table, while she began rummaging through a stack of documents on another desk.
“Thank you.”
Just as Leon sat down, Bishop Weiss turned back and placed an open academic journal on the tea table.
Leon immediately saw the nuclear model of the atom he had drawn. He realized this was the conjecture he had written, which Bishop Miller had organized and published in the Church’s academic journal.
“This—you wrote it, didn’t you?” Bishop Weiss leaned forward, bracing both hands on the tea table as she sought confirmation.
“Yes—”
Before Leon could finish speaking, Bishop Weiss leaned even closer, her eyes burning with intensity. “You’re researching atomic theory? Why didn’t you mention it when we met before?”
