Emma Herrmann
Quantum physicist in London. Usually asking for one more check. Happiest by a window or near the water.
Meet Emma in Book IA fictional profile from The Theory of Hope.
Time at the lab
We were meant to finish at six. At six, we finally agreed on what to test.
One more check
Ashaar had an explanation. I asked him to show me the run that ruled out the other one.
Waterloo
I do some of my best thinking on the Underground, provided I remember to get off.
Brick Lane
Went in to get out of the crowd. Ended up in another crowd, looking at a painting of a dog.
A window seat
If there’s a window seat, assume I’ve already taken it.
The canal route
The longer way home, especially when you stop to look at the water.
Behind the glass
I went in with one question. I came out with a page of them.
Last light
Stayed until the light went. The walk back was considerably less graceful than this photo suggests.
The room goes blue
The room got very quiet. The light kept changing.
The indoor park
There’s a park in the building. This is about as close as I got to taking a break.
East London after rain
The rain stopped just long enough for the bricks to change colour.
The long way home
Took the long way home again. I know exactly how long it takes by now.
Through Stephanie’s garden
I said I was going for a quick look around. The light had other ideas.
Look down
Never trust me with a shortcut through an old building.
After the reception
We talked about the data until they turned the lights out. This was on the way home.
Running late
Late enough to photograph the outfit. Early enough to miss the train anyway.
Hallway mirror
I changed the belt. Then I changed it back.
The dog at Brick Lane
I kept coming back to the dog. Best expression in the room.
The booth by the window
We had the booth by the window. I remember the colour of the room better than what we ordered.
First morning at Cognition
Nobody said anything about the tie.
At the display
I stopped for a closer look.
At rest
The first quiet moment all day.
At the end of the evening
Found a seat and decided to stay a little longer.
A night to celebrate
Someone remembered to take a photo before the toast. Someone else took one after.
Over the rooftops
I came out to look at the rooftops.
Above the ballroom
I went upstairs to see the room from the balcony.
A seated portrait
We kept the one where I laughed.
Out in the city
A quick photo on the way through.
The mountains beyond
I stayed out on the balcony until it got cold.
A bookshop in East London
I went in for a look and lost track of time.
On the steps
I meant to sit down for a minute.
In black and white
Someone said to look at the camera. I was listening to the person next to it.
By the open door
I opened the door and left it that way all afternoon.
Two wheels
For once I left early enough to take the long way.
Waiting at the UNS
Arrived early. Found a seat. Started writing my questions.
The staircase
I nearly missed the stairs looking up at the ceiling.
Back on court
I said one set. We played three.
