The next day, thanks to his internal clock, Alistair, who had to bed late, woke up at his usual time. Like every other morning, he snuggled up to his wife, showered her with kisses and hugs, and goofed around for a while before finally getting out of bed. He got dressed, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and then had breakfast with his wife. After that, one headed to the office while the other stayed busy with his own things.

During the filming of "If There's a Next Second," Alistair would take some time in the morning to visit the set and check on the

progress.

His first novel was quite short compared to those multi-million-word blockbusters

in the literary world. It wrapped up at just over 300 thousand words.

Currently, he was pouring all his energy into taking care of his family and the movie "If There's a Next Sécond."

Once things calmed down, he planned to gear up for the SAT.

Alistair smiled, "That's awesome."

Yves added, "Don't get too excited just yet."

Alistair guessed, saying, "Does he have some conditions we might not like?"

"Ha! You're off the mark. I mean there's even better news. Leo is doing it for free. No payment at all," Yves said.

Alistair smiled.

What was Leo up to? Trying to butter him up?

Nah, he was just a nobody. There was no way a music prodigy like Leo would stoop so low to curry favor with him.

Leo was clearly trying to impress little Eloise.

The next time they met, Leo could brag to Eloise, "I composed and sang a song for your dad's new movie!" Eloise would be thrilled, and that would bring them closer.
