As the day went on, their workspace filled with the messy kind of focus that meant something was actually working.
Camille sketched layout drafts, Wei Chen tested slogans, Liam fine-tuned the data.
Bella and Luca bounced lines back and forth until the words Upgrade Your Sip no longer felt like an idea—it felt like a brand.
By the time Georgia called it a day, the group was running on caffeine and adrenaline.
She paused at their table before heading out. "Good work today. You're starting to sound like a team."
As she walked off, Bella looked around at the others, then at Luca. "See? We survived Day Two."
Luca leaned back, stretching, a satisfied grin spreading across his face. "Barely. But I think we're actually starting to get this."
Bella nudged his arm. "Future legend in progress."
He smiled, glancing out the glass wall toward the skyline that shimmered faintly under the late afternoon light.
