บท 948: Deal

The late morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Tom's indoor gym, as Lucy and Tom stood side by side on a pair of treadmills, both dressed in comfortable workout gear.

Lucy wore a fitted tank top and leggings that hugged her body, while Tom sported a loose t-shirt and shorts. The air was filled with the soft rhythm of their footfalls as they settled into a steady pace.

"This is nice," Lucy remarked, her voice breathy but cheerful as she glanced at Tom. "I'm glad we finally get to do this."

Tom grinned, his eyes twinkling with a playful challenge. "Are you in for a competition?" he asked, increasing the speed on his treadmill slightly.

Lucy grinned, "As long as you don't plan to cheat as usual, you know I'm always in. What's the prize?"

"As usual. You can ask me for anything…"

"If I win I want to see Dawn," Lucy stated simply.

Tom raised a brow, "I thought you were over that."
