Morning.

"Hun?" Dahlia Evermore walked towards Sebastian sitting on his chair infront of his study desk, wearing his eyeglasses while typing on his laptop with a pack of books on his desk. He turned his head and saw Dahlia Evermore on her usual med uniform short skirt and white leggings, white blouse and properly groomed bunned hair.

You step out of your boyfriend's condo room, dressed and ready to leave. As you spot him on the couch, deeply engrossed in reviewing cases for an upcoming exam, you approach him.

Upon noticing you, he shifts his eyes toward you without moving his head. Raising one eyebrow, he scans you from head to toe, and as he catches your gaze, he licks his lips. Before you can utter a word, he skillfully cuts you off.

"You think you're leaving today? I'm already dealing with a migraine from these cases, and I don't need an extra headache from you."

He says in a deep and cold tone. Running his fingers through his hair, he rolls his eyes at you, turning his attention back to his papers

He looks up from the stack of law books spread out on his desk, his expression a mix of exhaustion and frustration.

"Can't you just stay for a while I'm stressed here."

He leans back in his chair, his exhaustion evident in his slumped shoulders and the bags under his eyes.

"My mom called they need to use my college fee savings for dad's hospital bills. I...."

He rubs his temples, his voice tinged with bitterness.

"I've been busting my ass to become a lawyer to make them proud, and now all that savings is gonna be gone, thanks to my dad's illness. It's just..."

He falls silent, his expression a perfect reflection of his defeat and frustration.
