Malena's eyes fluttered open on a chilly Tuesday morning, the soft light filtering through the curtains gently coaxing her from slumber. With a yawn, she stretched her arms above her head, relishing in the satisfying pull of her muscles. As she swung her legs over the side of the bed, her sock-covered feet met the cool touch of the hardwood flooring, sending a shiver up her spine.
With a purposeful stride, Malena made her way to the bathroom, the familiar creak of the floorboards accompanying her every step. She paused for a moment, taking in her reflection in the mirror, her messy bedhead and drowsy eyes serving as a testament to the early hour. After taking care of her morning business and washing her hands, she emerged feeling refreshed and ready to start the day.
As she descended the stairs to the kitchen, the faint aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mingling with the scent of pine from the nearby forest. However, upon glancing at the clock, Malena realized with a start that it was already 9:30. She furrowed her brow in mild surprise, accustomed to rising with the sun at 7 every morning.
Determined not to let the late start derail her morning routine, Malena set about preparing her breakfast. With a deft hand, she retrieved her trusty egg pan from the cupboard, the well-worn handle warm beneath her touch. A moment of contemplation ensued as she debated between scrambled eggs or an omelet, her stomach growling in anticipation.
"Scrambled, or omelet?" Malena murmured to herself, the sound of her voice echoing softly in the quiet kitchen. After a brief internal debate, she settled on scrambled eggs, craving the comforting simplicity of the dish. With a decisive nod, she cracked a few eggs into the pan, the satisfying sizzle filling the air as they hit the heated surface.
Malena watched intently as the eggs began to take shape, the aroma of sizzling butter filling the cozy kitchen. With a practiced hand, she stirred them gently, ensuring they cooked evenly and didn't stick to the bottom of the pan. As she worked, a contented smile graced her lips, her mind drifting to the events of the previous evening.
Leaning against the stove's oven, Malena found herself assuming a casual yet contemplative pose, one foot propped up against the opposite leg in a manner reminiscent of a yoga pose. She savored the tranquility of the moment, the rhythmic clinking of the spoon against the pan providing a soothing background melody.
Her thoughts soon turned to the meeting she had attended the night before, a surge of excitement coursing through her veins at the prospect of collaborating with her favorite band. The fact that she would be working alongside her best friend, Richie, only added to her anticipation, knowing that they would make a formidable team.
After the meeting had concluded, Malena and Ricky had decided to unwind over drinks, seizing the opportunity to get to know each other better outside of a professional setting. As they chatted, Malena couldn't help but notice the easy camaraderie that had developed between them, their conversation flowing effortlessly as they exchanged stories and shared laughs.
