บท 125: Elizabeth Is On It

At half past six on Monday morning, Derek and Carla lock the apartment door behind them, ready to face the day. The early morning air is crisp and refreshing as they make their way to the car, the soft light of dawn just beginning to brighten the sky.

Derek loads a small bag into the trunk while Carla adjusts her scarf, making sure she's prepared for the day ahead. They both climb into the car, and Derek starts the engine, glancing over at Carla with a reassuring smile.

"Ready for this?" He asks.

Carla nods, her expression determined but calm. "Ready. Let's do this."

As they drive through the quiet streets, the conversation shifts to lighter topics to ease the nerves building up inside them. They talk about their plans for the week, favorite memories, and their dreams for the future.
