*Christian and Nessa hop into the car*

Nessa: What are we doing?

Christian: I'm showing you what I do when I can't sleep

*they take a drive to a cabin*

Nessa: I feel like I'm being kidnapped

Christian: *laughs* You're not. Come on *he leads her into the cabin* My parents bought this place when I was 5 years old. It brings me peace. That's why I come when I can't sleep

Nessa: *looks around* Yeah, it's nice.

Christian: What's really nice is outside *grabs her hand and leads her outside*

Nessa: Woah...

*the two stare at a beautiful lagoon that is glistened by the moonlight and the stars.*

Nessa: It's beautiful...

Christian: *sits down on the ground* Its my favorite spot

Nessa: *sits down next to him* It's really nice I like it

Christian: I could stare at it for hours which is why I come when I can't sleep

Nessa: You can't sleep often?

Christian: I get these nightmares, more like flashbacks of a past experience and it torments me

Nessa: I'm sorry I should not have asked

Christian: It's okay. One day I'll tell you. Once I'm ready

Nessa: *nods* Take your time.

*the next morning*

Christian: *turns off his alarm and sees Nessa laying on his chest. He shakes her awake softly*

Nessa: *wakes up, yawning* We fell asleep here?!

Christian: *nods* We did. Come on. I'm going to go make some breakfast

*the two head to the kitchen*

Christian: *makes French toast*

Nessa: *pulls out a notebook and a pen*

Christian: What are you doing?

Nessa: Writing my notes about who you are as a person

Christian: What did you put?

Nessa: That's not for you to know *writing more stuff down* So you are a cook?

Christian: Yeah. I cook and bake from a young age.

Nessa: That's really cool. I can't cook for the life of me. Roni can though. She tries to teach me, but it has not worked out well

Christian: *serving the French toast* I could try to teach you how to make French toast tomorrow morning

Nessa: Ooo that sounds fun! *writes more stuff in her notebook* So what's the plan for today?

Christian: Survive school. Go to football practice. Go home.

Nessa: Sounds simple enough.
