The car was silent as Chloe and Starry sat in the backseat, each occupied with their phones. The chauffeur drove smoothly through the city streets, but neither of them paid attention to the passing view. It had been a long and exhausting day at the office, filled with tension, arguments, and unexpected moments. Now, neither of them spoke. Chloe scrolled through messages on her phone, replying to a few texts and occasionally glancing at the news. Occasionally, her eyes flicked to Starry as the light from his phone illuminated his face, highlighting his sharp facial features. His strong chin and his chiseled jaw. Starry, on the other hand, was trying to distract himself, but his focus kept shifting to the woman beside him. She hadn’t said a single word to him since they got into the car.
