Addie woke up to the bright sunshine coming into the window and buried her face more into the pillow. She tried to remind herself where she was, and couldn't stop smiling when the pillow had a smell that was so purely Esme on it. He surprised her, so she had to return the favor. Even if it wasn't his birthday. His grandmother allowed her to spend the night, but she wanted Addie to sleep in a guest room. That, of course, didn't stop the two teenagers from spending most of the night in the bed together. They were talking about their lives, about their plans for the school year, of course they kissed a lot and even touched some bases, but no sex. Something about having his grandmother down the hall seemed to keep things proper.

When she fell asleep, Esme was snuggled up next to her. When she woke up, he was gone. She knew that he was back in his own bed to keep them from getting in trouble with his grandmother. When she was finally able to pry herself from the bed, she carefully made the bed and changed into a simple black dress. Addie sent a quick text to her mother that she was going to be at Esme's for the weekend and that his grandmother was going to be there the whole time. She didn't want her parents to know that she and Esme already slept together, but she did want her parents to know that he was a wonderful boyfriend who cared about her a lot, even if they had only been dating for a few weeks.

Once the bed was made perfectly and she looked presentable, Addie walked down the stairs and hoped to find the kitchen. She could smell the coffee brewing and on the table was a note from Frau Darling about having day plans with a friend and for them to have a good time. She poured a cup of coffee and sat down at the table, curious if Esme was going to sleep all day, or if his younger sister would wake up first. She sipped the coffee, hoping to explore some of England before she had to go back to Germany. The look on Esme's face when she turned up the night before had been wonderful. They had only been seeing each other for a short amount of time, but she was so grateful that they were together and making the long distance thing work. Addie wrapped her hands around the warm mug and looked around the house, hoping for someone to join her soon.
