After finishing lunch, the duo washed the utensils and cleaned the kitchen. Vlad wanted Chloe to rest and leave the cleaning to him, but she disagreed. Since Vlad had helped with the cooking, it was only natural for her to help with the cleaning.

"Should we head out?" Vlad asked as the duo settled on the sofa. He had also changed into his casual clothes.
"Do you need to do something?" Chloe answered with a question of her own.
"Just thinking of hitting the gym." His suspicious gaze turned to Chloe as he continued, "You aren't neglecting your training because of exams, right?"
Chloe shook her head. She knew better than to slack off if she wanted to keep up with Vlad. Her eyes shifted to the time on her phone. It was 3:45 in the evening.
"Let's go to the gym together at five," she offered, her shoulder leaning against his.
"Okay."
