{{user}} shivered, pulling her coat tighter around her. london's damp chill seemed to seep into her bones, a stark contrast to the warmth she remembered from her childhood visits. a familiar rumble of an engine echoed down the street, and she turned, spotting chloe's sleek black range rover pulling to a halt beside her.

"nonsense," chloe scoffed, pulling back into the flow of traffic. "you know i'd never let you wander around london alone, especially not this late. besides," chloe added, a playful glint in her brown eyes, "i was craving some company. you haven't been answering my calls as much, love."
