The moment the photographer announced that the shoot was over, Dominique stepped away from Brittany and reached for the bottle of water Kyle had been holding for him. He took a few generous sips, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand before looking around the studio.
His eyes immediately searched for one person.
Hazel.
He spotted her sitting in the same chair near the equipment, her phone resting in her lap. Without wasting another moment, he handed the bottle back to Kyle and walked towards her, his expression brightening.
"Hazzy!"
He stopped in front of her, leaning down slightly to bring his face closer to hers.
"Have you been waiting long? Sorry, that took longer than I expected. The photographer kept asking for one more shot and then another one, and somehow we ended up doing twenty extra pictures." He chuckled, then glanced at her face. "You should have told me if you were getting bored. I could've come and entertained you."
