Charles quirked an eyebrow, leaning casually in the kitchen doorway. "Something on your mind?" Noelle shook her head, a touch of sheepishness in her voice. "I just feel a little silly. I was the one who said I'd cook yesterday!" Charles flashed a playful smile. "Tto eat!" After breakfast, Charles flicked a set of keys to Noelle, who caught them with a surprised look. "Why are you givingthese?" "Like I said yesterday, you'll be driving the Ferrari to work. We're far from downtown, and the bus won't cut. it," Charles explained, glancing at his watch. Noelle peeked at the tand gasped, "Damn it, I'm going to be late!" She accepted his generous offer without protest. After all, the Phoenix Tree Residence was quite the trek, from the city center. "What about you?" she blurted out, instantly regretting it. With the kind of cars Charles had in his garage, he was hardly short of options for a ride.

Watching Charles stride away, Noelle felt her heart do a little somersault. She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to calm the butterflies, and then picked up the pace.
He was right, of course. Her office was to the south, and his was to the north. Once they reached the city streets, they split up.

After parking in the underground labyrinth they called a garage, Noelle bumped into Xavier, a face she had not seen in days. She barely had a second to dodge before he snagged her wrist.
"Xavier, cut it out! Let go of me, now!"
"Let go? Noelle, I can't believe how cold-hearted you are!" Xavier had not seen Noelle for days and was O NO determined to have a real talk with her at work today. Catching her in a Ferrari was not what he expected.
He knew Noelle, and there was no way she could afford a car like that. He had taken a good look, and that ΝΟ Ferrari was not just any model-it was last year's release, and it was tricked out and worth a fortune.
