Dominic and Eleanor stepped out, watching the fading figure in the distance. Dominic muttered, "Men these days—never around when they should be, but clinging on when they shouldn't."
Eleanor looked worried. She feared Aurora might soften, and her expression made that clear.
Aurora regained her composure. "Let's go back for breakfast. I still have to head to the company later."
Speaking of her new songs, Aurora was looking forward to them. The company had lined up some well-known songwriters and composers for her.
Back at the company, Aurora picked two songs—one was a special New Year's release titled Snow Falls on the Rising Sun, and the other was a heartwarming, sweet song called Love You. She chose these songs in hopes of breaking away from her past melancholic, youthful style.
