Chapter 45: This is Going to Be a Problem

I woke up the next morning with work and breakfast on my mind.

Getting ready for my shift at Tanaka Auto was straightforward enough. Figuring out what to make Nicole for breakfast was proving more difficult. I still didn't know what her favourite food was, which seemed like a fairly important detail to be missing when I was planning to cook for her.

I got out of bed, took a shower, and went through my usual morning routine, though I kept considering different breakfast options as I dressed. By the time I was ready, I still hadn't settled on anything.

I picked up my things, left my room, walked into the hallway.

Nicole was already in the kitchen.

She was already dressed for the day, wearing a sky-blue blouse tucked into a black skirt that reached her knees, with black heels completing the outfit. She looked like she was ready to walk straight into a lecture hall, which was probably because she was.
