His palm resumed its gentle caress along my back, dipping to the curve of my hip, as if even a business call couldn't interrupt this new habit of constant contact. "Boss," came the voice on the line, Liam, I recognized, his tone clipped and professional despite the early hour. The clock on the nightstand glowed 7:12 a.m., the winter sun just beginning to filter through the heavy curtains. "Got a tip from our contact. Haruto Suzuki's in town. He landed last night, private jet from Tokyo. He's here for some discreet meetings, wrapping up loose ends before heading back. Word is, he's open to new partnerships while he's stateside."

"I'm sorry for disturbing you two. Adam and I didn't think that Higan would have company today." I shook my head. "You didn't disturb anything so, don't apologize." She gave me a soft smile and handed Adam his food. "You guys spend a lot of time together, huh?" "Sort of." Adam snorted. "I doubt that because Higan's International COD Saturday was turned into Jamie Saturday. Not that I'm complaining. You two look good together." "We're just friends," I mumbled. "Friends who-" his words were cut off by Nat shoving a piece of sushi into his mouth.

On returning back they look outside the window. The Sun hadn’t risen yet and the clock had only moved by 6 hours. Ritsu takes his seat and says while leaning back on his chair- “If you have to either call someone like your loved ones or something like that… Go ahead. There’s little time before sunrise so make it quick.” “Why? Do they disappear in the day?” “No. They just become weaker during the day. Also, it’s a pain finding them since their size gets reduced to a ball too.”

She feels uncertain about it and so, she is planning to escape the spending-time-with-her-mates event by pretending that she is working really hard on her job. Huffing for breath, Izzy slows down and leans against a tree, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Her eyes roam over the expanse of the forest before her, taking in the beauty of nature. She pulls her phone out, checking the time. It’s almost noon. It’s also about time she returns to the pack house. The remaining hour before the start of her work shift is just enough for lunch and a bath. She won’t have time to spend on Miles. Izzy sprints through the last stretch of her run, using the familiar trail leading back to their pack house

My phone buzzed on the table between us. Sebastian. "Tomorrow. Eight fifty three. Front steps of the main building." I stared at the screen. Jasmine leaned over and read it. She sat back with a slow smile spreading across her face. "Eight fifty three." She noted. "Not eight fifty. Not nine o clock. Eight fifty three." She looked at me. "That man timed exactly how long it takes to walk from the house to the building so you would arrive together." She paused. "And you are still asking yourself if it is real?"

The stream’s waters pulsed faintly, reflecting not the sky, but a deeper light, one that belonged to the realm itself. Inferno stepped closer, flames along his spine brightening like the heartbeat of a distant star. “Time here is your ally. One hour in your world equals ten days in this one. You may rest, train, bond… and emerge changed.” Zenith’s eyes widened. “Ten days… That's about eighty days...” she breathed. “For just one night?” “Yes,” I said, watching the surprise melt into awe. “We’ll have what we need.” Her lips curved, and I felt the pull of a private, quiet joy. “And we don’t have to worry about...” “Project Aegis,” I finished for her, letting a small smirk escape. “Not tonight.

A glow not seen before. On the train ride to Ōmiya, another message from Heri came in: “Would it be okay… if we had a video call tonight? Only if you’re free.” Her smile came naturally. Her fingers typed fast: “Yes! I’d love to! 10 PM Tokyo time, right? So that’s 8 PM Jakarta? Did I guess right? I’m on a train now with my manager, heading to a meeting >.<” “Okay, 10 PM Tokyo. Good luck today, Sakura. I hope today is a good day for you.”

The sun rises quite late as it is winter season, snow quietly filled the streets, the roofs, and people started to clean up their driveway. Many people start their day early despite the cold. They started their morning with a greeting and smile plastered on their faces. While in the GoKaria Technology Inc., Quality Department team 3,(Emilia's team) was busy preparing for a small farewell surprise for Emilia, noting that it is Emilia's last day in the office. The company's office hours start at 8:00 am and end at 12:00 pm, a lunch break for an hour and a half, and the office hours in the afternoon starts at 1:30 pm to 5:00 pm.

Zin said thoughtfully. “You don’t have maintenance done on them, or someone who repairs them when needed?” I asked, feeling rushed to get answers. Zin shook his head. “I fortunately have security who are talented in things other than just, watching and waiting. They will do the maintenance routinely between 3am and 6am. It is the only time we close the club before our morning rush of Zumba and dance lesson renters who reserve the main floor. Then at noon we start getting in the lunch drinkers who snack while there are live shows and then at 5 the evening begins all over again. We are a very busy facility.” Zin said as he bent back down to the computer monitor.
