The days of late winter had always slipped by too quickly. It felt as though only yesterday the Al'Xander House had been alive with lights, laughter, and the most awaited celebration of the year. Yet reality insisted otherwise. It was already mid-February. Time, it seemed, had grown impatient with Dylan.
Between his studies and the growing responsibilities placed upon him, the days blurred together. Lately, he had also joined the office of the Lawmaker for hands-on experience; a decision that had quietly reshaped his routine. Sleep had become optional. Meals were rushed, often forgotten. Personal moments were postponed with the careless promise of soon.
And Lena;She, too, had been pushed into the margins of his days.

Today was perhaps the busiest day of the week.
Dylan had been moving since dawn, carried forward by deadlines and obligations that left no space to pause. He hadn't checked on Lena. He hadn't even stopped for lunch.
