Nazmi had purposely chosen a simple and low-pressure theme for their date… but still found herself worrying about it later.

…but Nazmi ended up oversleeping this time.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sunlight that filtered through the window had begun to dim. It was already approaching dusk!
