Kitty POV: "wait so you're like a couple now?" Jane says and Anna and I nod. We were on a video call with the others because they wanted to make sure we were safe.
"I get to see where I grew up! And I get to show Kitty too!" Anna was really excited about planning that part of our trip. I'd made sure we could have a whole day just visiting where she grew up. It was the most important part of this whole trip out here.
"Are you two eating healthy?" We nod.
"Good. Now rest up because I'm sure tomorrow is a busy day" Lina says and Anna nods. They hang up and I sit back smiling. Anna puts the laptop away and sits beside me.
"Wanna raid the minibar and cuddle with snacks and a movie?" She says and I nod. Anna heads over to the mini bar and starts getting snacks and drinks just as there's a flash outside. Crap. In an instant Anna is back over, dumping the stuff on the bed, handing me my teddy and wrapping my blanket around me before closing the blinds and curtains. It's dark except for the tv so Anna turns on some lamps and then sits down beside me.
"What would you like to watch babe?"
"Can we watch the aristocrats?" She nods and puts it on, holding me close and kissing my cheek. I snuggle into her side and try not to focus on the storm outside.

Anna POV: Kitty was shaking. Like I could feel the bed shaking with how bad it was.
"Hey. Hey it's okay. You're safe Kitty. It's okay. It's okay" I whisper, rubbing her back. She burrows closer into my side and whimpers in fear.
"Shhh. You're safe" eventually she falls asleep cuddled up to me so I turn off the tv and lay down with her, falling asleep soon after.
The next morning
I wake up first and gently slide Kitty off me so I can get dressed. By the time I'm ready she's just waking up, looking around tiredly.
"Hey there. Want me to step into the bathroom so you can get ready?" She looks at me tearing up and nods. I blow her a kiss and step into the bathroom to wait.

Kitty POV: Anna is amazing. Beyond words. She's just...she cares so much. And we have a connection and I know this time is different because I know Anna and I know she won't hurt me and she genuinely does care about me. I get dressed and knock on the door to give Anna the signal to come out. She comes out and smiles at me.
"Ready to go then?" I ask and she nods excitedly. We brush our teeth and she helps me tie my hair up. She was gentle. She didn't pull even by accident. And when she's done she kisses the top of my head and takes my hand.
"We can get breakfast on the way" we grab or bags and then we're off.
Time skip
We were on a train. Then there'd be a short bus ride and then cable cars. Anna could barely sit still long enough to eat her breakfast. She was looking out the window all giddy and excited.
"We're almost there. I can't wait to see it" I say and she smiles wider, turning to face me.
"I can't believe we get to see it. It's gonna be so amazing!" I giggle at how excited she is and give her a quick kiss.
"My girlie I love love love you"
"I love love love you too" she says, kissing my nose. The train gets to our stop and Anna swings our hands between us as we head to the bus. I sit by the window and lean against Anna who loops an arm around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head.
"Feeling tired babe?"
"Uh huh"
"It is only 7am. Sorry I got you up this early" she says and I smile, kissing her cheek.
"It'll be worth it seeing you happy" I says and she laughs, hugging me.

Jane POV: I was so worried about Anna and Kitty. Sure Anna is tough but if someone works her up the wrong way she panics. What if she gets reminded of her family?! I want to call them but I know I shouldn't. Ugh what do I do?! I flop down on the couch with my head on Cathy's lap when my phone beeps.
Anna: on the cable cars now. I know you like to worry about us
With it was a selfie. She and Kitty were okay. I can stop worrying now.
"Look how happy they are" Cathy says and I smile.
"Yeah. They've really found a perfect match in each other" I'll have to print it out at some point.
