Mia was roused from slumber by the blaring alarm clock on her nightstand. Having burned the midnight oil the previous night, working on lyrics for the Climax song, she contemplated the day ahead. With no pressing meetings and an early departure in her plans, she figured it was the perfect moment to request a day off from Peter. After all, the prospect of catching up on her beauty sleep was tempting. Settling back into her sheets, she surrendered to a few more hours of rest.
Upon rising again, she slipped into her workout attire and embarked on a jog through the streets. Each stride seemed to harmonize with the verses of the song she had been crafting. The lyrics she had penned the other night surged through her mind like rolling waves.
All worldly possessions, Are left for recollections, And finally it's all gone!
Homeward bound, she rewarded herself with a satisfying bagel and a steaming cup of coffee from Lionel's – a joint she frequented with Pam. Seated by the window, she relished the meal while scrolling through her Twitter feed. The surge in followers and favorites was astounding, a testament to the whirlwind her life had become.
Returning to her abode, she surrendered to the warm embrace of a shower, letting the cascading water erase the remnants of weariness. With renewed vigor, she readied herself for the day's tasks, just as Lucy's call came in – as anticipated.
Lucy's voice requested Mia a morning off for the Rock Candy Magazine shoot, prompting Mia to mull over the idea of discussing a sabbatical with Peter. Following that, Lucy shared the news that Daylight Records had officially accepted their offer. The label's reps desired a formal introduction to the band, which would happen at the Fonda Theatre gig on Saturday – an offer Lucy gladly relayed. Gratitude flowed from Mia's lips as the call ended, and she hastened to text the rest of the crew, sharing the exhilarating news.

As the clock struck 2:30 pm, it was time to venture out to meet the curly-haired guy. One last look in the mirror elicited a smile of approval from her reflection. Donning her black denim jacket and gathering her essentials – bag, guitar case – she stepped out.

Arriving at Slash's place took a bit longer than expected due to traffic. Following her routine, Mia called him to open the gate. He promptly did so, and she drove through, the gates closing behind her with a metallic sound.
Exiting her car, Mia was greeted by Slash's charming smile and a warm hug. He sported another print t-shirt, coupled with ripped jeans, his signature cool style. Returning the hug, Mia felt a subtle excitement, her heart dancing a bit as they embraced.
"Wanna go straight to the patio and hang out for a while? The afternoon tea is ready." he said with a grin.
