After nearly an hour, Kevin closed his equipment and said, "Done. We can go back to the car and rest for a bit before heading to the second location."Aurora nodded slightly. "Alright. Thanks for explaining everything."Kevin looked at her with a brief smile. "No problem. You worked hard today too, even though you just intended to accompany me."Aurora gave a small smile, then walked back toward the car with Kevin.After placing the measuring tools back into the trunk, Kevin glanced at his watch and then turned to Aurora, who was busy checking her notes."Shall we head to the second location now?" Aurora asked, looking at him calmly.Kevin gave a short nod. "Yes, but... how about we have lunch first? It'd be good before we hit the road again."Aurora immediately shook her head. "No need, I already ate this morning."Kevin smiled, half convinced. "Are you sure? What time did you have breakfast?"Aurora g

Rafael's car slowly stopped in front of a classic-style restaurant located on a corner of the city. The dim yellow lights from inside the restaurant created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rafael turned to Aurora, who was sitting in the passenger seat, still wearing her work clothes. Her face looked tired, but a small smile remained on her lips."I know you must be exhausted after a whole day of site visits and going back to the office," Rafael said in a serious yet caring tone. "That's why I thought I'd take you out for dinner tonight. No need to cook, no need to do dishes."Aurora turned to him, raising her eyebrows slightly in surprise. "I don't mind cooking, Rafael. I still have the energy for that."Rafael chuckled softly and patted Aurora's hand resting on her lap. "I don't doubt your capability or endurance, Aurora. But let me take over tonight. Consider it a token of appreciation for going through such a long day."Aurora looked at Rafael

In the late afternoon, the sky began to turn orange as office hours finally came to an end. Activity in the building started to slow down. Aurora was organizing a few final documents before getting ready to go home. Just as she was about to pick up her bag from beside the chair, Rafael appeared at the door of her office."Let's go home," Rafael said casually. "But before that, I want to take you to dinner. How about sushi tonight?"Aurora smiled, though slightly surprised. "Sushi? That's so sudden."Rafael shrugged lightly. "I feel like something fresh. And I thought you could use a good meal after a long day."Without much protest, Aurora nodded, and they headed to the parking lot together, getting into Rafael's private car. During the drive, they chatted lightly, talking about the weather, work, and other small things that felt comforting after a long day under pressure.The sushi restaurant they went to wasn't far from the office, a pl

Not long after, the sound of a car could be heard in the distance. Both of them stood up simultaneously."That must be our rental car," Kevin said.Aurora looked at the road and took a deep breath. "Thank goodness it's here," she said with a relieved smile.Kevin opened the door and gestured for Aurora to get in. "Come on, the day is getting late, and we'll be back at the office too late," he urged."Thank you," Aurora replied and got in, followed by Kevin.The car drove slowly through the village road, which was becoming livelier as the afternoon approached. Inside the comfortable, air-conditioned cabin, the atmosphere felt calm and slightly drowsy. Kevin sat in the passenger seat, gazing out the window, while Aurora beside him started to look tired.A few minutes passed in silence until Kevin turned and saw Aurora with her eyes closed. She had fallen asleep at some point, and her body slightly swayed each time the car hit a sma

The night crept in quietly, enveloping their journey home in an uncomfortable silence. In the car, Aurora just stared out the window, her eyes blankly looking at the flashing city lights without really seeing. Rafael who sat next to her occasionally glanced over, trying to read Aurora's feelings from her facial expressions, but there was no sign that he could understand. The girl seemed reluctant to speak, as if she wanted to stay away.As soon as the car stopped in front of their house, Aurora got out first, without waiting for Rafael or saying a word. With quick steps, she entered the house and went straight to her room. Rafael who had just gotten out could only let out a long sigh, feeling confused and a little hurt by Aurora's cold demeanor. He knew something was bothering him, but he didn't know what.After changing into casual clothes in his room, Rafael decided to go to the kitchen. He prepared a simple dinner. Every now and then he stole a glance down the hallway, hoping Auror
