A gentle smile graced Maddison's face as Mason's hand found hers, anchoring her in the present moment. She felt a sense of contentment wash over her, knowing that they were here, together, and that nothing could disturb their peaceful moment.
As she finished her own paper, Maddie glanced over at Mason, watching him as he worked diligently on his own assignment. Two papers in one sitting was no small feat, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in their joint accomplishment.
But as the minutes ticked by, Maddie's stomach began to grumble softly. She glanced at the clock, realizing that it must be close to lunchtime. With a smile, she waited for Mason to finish his work before speaking up.
"Are you getting hungry?" she asked, her tone light and playful. "I don't know about you, but I could definitely use a break and some food right about now." She looked over at him, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "What do you say we take a break and grab some lunch?"
Maddie hoped that Mason would agree. She was looking forward to spending some quality time with him, and what better way to do that than over a delicious meal?
