Earlier on that day…

Torin picked up Lyra at their unit as soon as he finished his office work at the military base. 

Lyra had messaged him that she had refused to travel with Zach and Keira, complaining that she would have died witnessing too much sweetness between the two.

He had cooked some soup and left medicine for Lyra's hangover. He left his condo early that morning, so the two of them did not have a chance to see each other after the kissing incident in the car last night.

"Why am I the one nervous? It's not me who did something wrong, right?" he mumbled as he waited for Lyra to come out from their building.

He was so consumed with the thoughts about whether or not Lyra would remember what had happened that he was startled with a sudden knock on his car window.

"What the heck!" he hissed as he lowered his window.
