The next morning, Andrea woke up alone in the hotel suite, the blanket Zayn had draped over her still wrapped snugly around her. She stretched, rubbing her eyes, and glanced at her phone, where a new message from Harry awaited.

A smile crept across Andrea's face as she put her phone down. The playful banter was a welcome start to her day. She loved how Harry could make any ordinary message feel like an adventure waiting to happen. Andrea had an emergency bag with clothes, a toothbrush, and anything else she might need at their hotel because of how often she'd ended up staying over unplanned. After a quick shower and throwing on a comfortable outfit—high-waisted jeans and a loose sweater—she grabbed her bag and headed out the door, ready to face the day. On her way to the coffee shop, she sent a message to the group chat.

Once she secured a tray full of coffee orders, she made her way to the studio, the excitement bubbling within her. Walking through the studio doors, she was met with the familiar chaos of creativity. The room was filled with instruments, soundboards, and posters of past albums lining the walls, giving it a rich history that Andrea could feel in her bones.

As she entered, she spotted Louis and Niall goofing off by the soundboard, their laughter echoing in the room. Liam was deep in conversation with one of the producers, his brow furrowed in concentration. Harry, however, was the first to notice her, his grin widening as he caught sight of the coffee tray. Harry noticed her first, grinning as he spotted the coffee tray.
