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.

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.
