After locking herself in the workshop for over twenty-four hours without even eating, Paula had gotten everything ready and was good to go.
She finally stepped out when Jayden came knocking, concerned about her not showing up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner... It was when she had missed the next breakfast that he decided to approach her.
Sure, they wanted her to get everything done, but not by starving herself. They all had to contribute to the preparation of the invasion, and Paula starving and working herself to death wasn't what they wanted at all.
But fortunately, it was when he came knocking that she opened up, and instead of having a faint, weak look on her face...
It was bright... Brighter than one could expect.
She suddenly threw herself at him as she gave him a hug the moment she spotted him, giving Jayden the clue that everything had gone fine.
"Really, Paula? You missed breakfast, lunch..."
