Zoe would have preferred to leave for work with her breakfast packaged for her, but Gabriel had only helped her those times because she was running late for work. This time around, she had no choice but to sit for breakfast since there was quite enough time left.
One would think that with the tension between her and Gabriel, she would gladly leave the house and avoid the drama, but Zoe sat still. She and Gabriel were good and didn't want to give the impression that they were fighting again. Their relationship was just a bit confusing. But they were adults and were handling it "responsibly".
