Story:

-Mostreth is a nineteen-year-old musician and lecturer at a university in Piedmont, Italy. He is a genius and a child prodigy. One day, he met a nine-year-old female physicist named Bridget, who looked so much older for her age. She had bushy eyebrows and thick glasses; also, she was tall. When he met her, she was crouched down on a corner of the laboratory and crying because of a failed experiment.

-Mostreth and Bridget talked for a long time about the experiment. Soon after, Mostreth's genius was able to help Bridget solve her problem. The experiment became successful and it won an award. The awarding ceremony was not yet until two weeks after in a science symposium. Bridget could not thank him enough.

-One week before the awarding ceremony, Bridget began to have feelings for Mostreth. She visited him every day to listen to his music, and listening to his music gave her mixed feelings of excitement and awe. She wanted so much of him, even to be married to him, but she was just nine. She wondered to herself how it was possible for a nine-year-old girl to think such thoughts of marriage when it was not yet even proper for most people her age. But the fact is that her mind has wired her to be that way. She is a prodigy after all.

-Mostreth also happened to like her. He found her pretty and youthful, although her age was something he was not completely sure about. They were 10 years apart, but he did not know this, and she never revealed this. Incidentally, Bridget had lied to him about her age just on the same week. She told him that she was 19, and he believed so. Not long after, they would be dating and talking about their future together. They both agreed to settle down together in the coming months.

-Come award ceremony, the hosts revealed her real age on stage, during the awarding. "Nine-year-old physicist." The whole crowd was amazed and they cheered, but Mostreth was greatly astonished. This made Bridget want to run away and hide from the rest of the crowd, but she couldn't, because she was the awardee.
