Juniper, a self-proclaimed foodie, took charge of ordering. While she was occupied, Liliana turned to Douglas. "I signed up for the AuraRun Design Contest."
"Really?" A smile touched his lips. "I knew you would."
"I did." Liliana gathered her long hair and tied it back with an elastic band. "The preliminary round is in a week. It's an online submission."
"Six days, actually," Douglas corrected gently. "Submissions open at eight in the morning on the seventh day. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"If you have time, I'd love to get your thoughts on color palettes," Liliana admitted. She'd spent so much time focused on her day-to-day work that while she had a decent grasp of the major design trends from the last couple of years, she was rusty on the finer details—the subtle nuances of color theory that could make or break a design.
"Of course. I'll put together the latest color boards when I get home. You can stop by my office during your lunch break, or just message me anytime after work." Thanks to his position at Cyan, Douglas had access to cutting-edge digital color palettes that were updated every few days, which would be a huge advantage for her.
"What time do you usually finish work?" Liliana asked, suddenly remembering what Juniper had said about how busy he was. She felt a twinge of regret for asking for his help.
Douglas considered it for a moment. "Just message me whenever you have a question. If I'm free, I'll reply right away. If I'm busy, it might be a little later. Is that okay?"
"Yes, absolutely," Liliana said quickly. "Whenever you have a free moment is fine. There's no rush."
"What's no rush?" Juniper asked, looking up from the menu. "The divorce?"
Liliana's smile twitched.
"We're not in a rush to eat," Douglas said, shooting his sister a fond, exasperated look. "Did you order everything you wanted?"
Juniper nodded enthusiastically. "Of course. Since you're paying, I didn't hold back."
