(Noah)
The next morning came a lot sooner than I wanted it to.
I slept for a few hours at most. Every time I closed my eyes, I ended up thinking about Crane, Elliot, and the meeting waiting for me. By the time my alarm went off, I was already awake. There wasn't much point trying to get more sleep.
I got dressed and headed to church.
Cam was already there with a laptop open in front of him. Kane stood at the board while Dante worked through another stack of files. Roan sat at the table with a coffee in one hand and a report in the other. Nobody looked particularly rested.
"Morning," Roan said.
"That's optimistic."
He laughed.
"Didn't sleep?"
"Not much."
I grabbed a coffee and sat down.
Cam didn't look away from his screen.
"You still going?"
"Yeah."
Nobody looked surprised.
