As I sat in the car, watching the city slowly come to life in the early morning haze, a part of me still felt half-asleep. It wasn't often that I left the house at the same time as Noah, and it felt strangely domestic to be heading out together, even if we were going in separate cars.
I stole a glance at him through the tinted windows. He was focused on the road ahead, his sharp features bathed in the soft morning light. There was something undeniably calming about having him near, even if we weren't speaking.
With a small smile to myself, I turned my attention back to my phone, skimming through messages from Rose. She had sent me a last-minute schedule update for the cooking show, along with a few notes about the chef hosting it. My stomach fluttered with anticipation. This was something new for me, and while I was necessarily bad at cooking, hope miracal will happen today to save me from first hand embarrassment on light television.
