The morning starts with a jolt as my blaring alarm disrupts the peacefulness of sleep. Rubbing my eyes, I rise from bed, immediately aware of the tasks that await me.
With a quick glance at the clock, I realize it's time to get the kids ready for school. As I rouse them from their slumber, the routine begins: breakfast, uniforms, backpacks.
Amidst the morning rush, there's a sense of urgency to ensure everything is in order. Zack, our trusty driver assigned by Zayn, is waiting to chauffeur us to work.
The ride is silent but comfortable, each of us lost in our own thoughts as the cityscape rushes by outside the car window. Finally, we arrive at the office, ready to dive into the day's tasks.
Settling into my office alongside Candy, the weight of worry hangs heavy in the air. We exchange concerned glances, both of us grappling with the silence that surrounds Zayn and Chris.
