CLAIRE
The contracts arrived via email the next morning while I was drinking my coffee and staring at my sketches for the hundredth time. My phone buzzed with the notification and I nearly dropped my mug when I saw Nina's name.
Nina: Contracts attached! Review at your leisure and let me know if you have any questions. Also included timeline and fabric supplier contact info. Excited to get started!
I opened the attachments with shaking hands, scrolling through pages of legal language that might as well have been written in another language. Julian walked out of his bedroom, already dressed for the day in dark jeans and a white button-down shirt.
"Morning," he said, heading straight for the coffee pot.
"Nina sent the contracts," I blurted out, holding up my phone like evidence.
