Roman had left the store, leaving the women's section behind, and made his way to the parking lot. He approached his car, feeling a sense of accomplishment after completing such a shopping mission. He got in, started the engine, and began his journey back home. He was sure he hadn't taken a long time, and he had even bought Xylara a phone and a laptop of her own, thinking it would be a nice gesture to help her settle in.
As he drove, he couldn't help but think about Bianca. It was almost noon, and he was sure she had awakened from her slumber by now. He wondered if she would remember what happened yesterday and if it would be awkward between them. Bianca's persistent advances towards starting a romantic relationship with Roman were getting more and more intense, and Roman didn't exactly know what to do. He found her attractive, with her exotic mixture of Italian and Asian features, but he wasn't sure if he was for a relationship her.
