Sage stood outside his car, idly scrolling through his phone, when a familiar presence brushed against his senses. Lifting his head, he spotted Katelyn approaching in her sports attire, a travel bag resting at her side.
"What's this?" Sage arched a brow as he closed the distance, smoothly taking the bag from her side.
"You told me to get ready in ten minutes. I… couldn't," Katelyn admitted.
"You really do love testing my patience," Sage muttered, turning toward his car. "I'll be waiting. Go back to your apartment and take your time. Half an hour should be more than enough for you."
Katelyn only hummed in response before turning on her heel, disappearing from his sight without another word.
Sage paused with his hand on the car door, his eyes narrowing. "What's going through her mind?" he murmured. Sliding into the driver's seat, he frowned. "She's not the type to stay quiet instead of snapping back… yet she's holding it in."
