Upon parking, Melon eagerly hopped out and stared up at the towering skyscr@per, his neck craning back excitedly until he nearly lost balance.
“Wow, it’s so tall!”
Ariana smiled affectionately, steadying the boy while patting his head.
Taking his small hand in hers, she cautioned, “Remember not to run off later.
Stay right by me.

Melon obediently nodded as they entered the sleek lobby.
The familiar space stirred memories of Ariana’s first anxious interview here years ago, though it now felt like a lifetime away.

“Hello Mr.
Riley, I’m Ariana, your interviewer for today.

However, Simms remained engrossed in his phone, disregarding her presence.
“I have another event to get to after this, so let’s make it quick,” he muttered distractedly, not even bothering to glance up.
