Nicole walked over to where Jared had parked his car.

Jared smiled affectionately and opened the door for her, saying, "Hop in." Once inside, Nicole sank into the seat with a deep sigh.

"Finally, a moment to relax." "You look worn out," Jared noted, concerned.

Now, in the quiet of the car, she felt a sense of relief.

Jared smiled gently, "Soon, you'll get to relax for real." He knew exactly what she was going through.

They just had to handle the situation with Lawrence, and then all this stress would be behind them.

Nicole nodded as she smiled back, feeling a bit more at ease.
