Getting Rome to agree to let her take the car the next day was no easy feat, especially when Ella hadn’t been exactly honest with him when he’d asked where she was going and why. “I just need to go see someone about a business proposition,” she’d explained. He’d arched an eyebrow and stared at her. “I don’t want to tell you all of the details at the moment because it’s nothing solid yet.” She’d shrugged like it didn’t matter, and he’d eventually agreed, even though he wasn’t thrilled about it.
After he left for work via rideshare, Ella had some time to take better pictures of the artwork for Fae. She wanted to leave a little early since she wasn’t familiar with where she was going, and she had no idea how long it might take for the cafe to fix their food. It would’ve been great if she could order ahead and pick it up on the way, but she didn’t see that option online and didn’t want to take a chance with them getting the order wrong if she called.
