Dave and Laurent arrived at the airport on time and, after completing the check-in process, waited in the VIP lounge.
Dave had booked first-class seats, but after a long wait, they were informed that the flight was delayed due to weather conditions. With no choice but to wait, they remained at the airport.
The longer the delay, the more restless one would become—especially Laurent, who was already exhausted.
After being tormented by a certain someone until late last night, her entire body ached, and all she wanted was to sleep. Yet, there was still no news about their departure. Sitting on the lounge sofa, Laurent gradually drifted into drowsiness.
Dave, seated beside her, reached out and pulled her into his arms, speaking in a gentle tone.
"I'll find a nearby hotel for you to sleep for a few hours."
Laurent forced herself to stay awake and shook her head.
