Astrid pulled into her driveway, exhausted from a long day at Maren's company.
She had spent hours trying on dresses and attending meetings, and all she wanted to do was go to bed.
She sat in the car for a moment, collecting her thoughts before heading inside.
Just as she was about to get out of the car, a knock on the window startled her. She was scared at first until she saw the person outside.
She rolled down the window to find Julian standing outside, a concerned look on his face.
"Why are you sleeping in the car?" Julian asked, his voice low and gentle.
Astrid rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the fatigue. "I wasn't sleeping," she said, trying to sound more alert than she felt. "I was just resting my eyes. Why are you here again? And the only thing in your head was to startle me!"
