(7:35 a.m)
They both left their apartment complex...
The sun was still coming up from the horizon, casting long shadows down the street, and the atmosphere was surprisingly cool for what promised to be another warm day...
The usual morning bustle was yet to fully kick in, giving the streets a peaceful, and almost deserted feel...
Sarah rubbed her eyes as the morning breeze swept through her hair... She let out a big yawn, covering her mouth with the back of her hand as she and Leo walked slowly toward the bus stop...
Leo looked at her sideways. "You didn't sleep well?"
"I didn't, my body might be here but..." she mumbled, blinking slowly. "My soul's still in bed."
He laughed out loud and stopped walking. "Do you want me to carry you?"
She gave a sleepy grin. "If you do, I'm not walking for the rest of the day."
"Nah... I'm good." He adjusted his backpack and added...
"Babe, you are actually evil," she added, stomping on his shoes as they continued to walk.
Minutes later…
