At three in the afternoon, Juniper opened her closet and changed into a comfortable outfit: a white hoodie, black pants, and her long, silky hair falling loosely over her shoulders. Her face was flawless and radiant even without a trace of makeup; she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"I'm going to go check on how the restaurant has been doing lately," Juniper said, deciding to embrace her role as the owner since she had time to kill.

"Alright," Shanley replied, settling onto a sofa to peel a grapefruit for her. "I'll call you when they get here."
