"Would you mind... Getting me some clothes out and bringing them to me... please?" She said in a shy tone.

His mind went blank as his face lit up red. This was bad. She meant all of her clothes, didn't she? He gave her a dresser to put her things into but he never snooped. That was not what a gentleman did! Could he really do that?!

"Ugh... Here...Move." Tikki rolled her eyes with a smile as she floated by with a little pile of clothes in her hands.

Adrien saw Tikki patiently waiting at the door and he knocked on the door. She saw it open. He saw Marinette take the bundle of clothes and then the door quickly shut.

"Thank you, Adrien... I know that was... probably embarrassing. I'm really sorry." Marinette apologized.

Adrien looked at Tikki confused.

"Uh... yeah no problem..." Adrien said. "I'll be downstairs getting breakfast when you're ready."

"Alright, I'll be down in a little."

Adrien walked away from the bathroom, Tikki and Plagg following him.

"What was that about? Could she not see you? What happened?" Adrien asked.

"She had her eyes closed and only reached her hands out to grab them. Calm down silly." Tikki laughed.

"S-sorry... I guess I'm just scared that this is all just a dream and she isn't really regaining her memories back." Adrien said with a sigh of relief.

"I'm sure everything is fine. You worry too much." Plagg said, floating by.

"Alright, alright. Out of sight you two. I need to eat breakfast." Adrien rolled his eyes with a smile as he opened his jacket for them to fly into.

Adrien headed downstairs and sat down at the table, awaiting for Marinette to join him. Though he didn't expect his father, Nathalie, Sabine, and Tom to join them as well. They usually ate breakfast on their own, especially his father.

"Good morning son," Gabriel said, sitting down at the table.

"O-oh good morning father, how are you?" He smiled.

Gabriel didn't respond and instead read the news on his tablet while he sipped his morning coffee.

The Agreste's personal chef came and took everyone's orders and then headed off toward the kitchen. Not long after, they heard footsteps coming down the stairs and Marinette sat down beside Adrien.

Gabriel looked up slightly to see Marinette sitting with a smile on her face as she talked quietly to Adrien. He narrowed his eyebrows and sat down his cup of coffee.

"You're awfully cheerful this morning. Is something important going on... Marinette?" Gabriel said, raising an eyebrow at her.

"O-oh uh... Well... I have some friends coming over that I don't get to see a lot is all." Marinette smiled awkwardly, hoping that was a good enough answer.

"So you're feeling alright then?" He questioned.

"U-uhm... yes... I think so. Why do you ask?" She asked.

Gabriel didn't answer and continued to pick his cup of coffee up and take another sip.

"Well, that is great news dear. I'm glad you're feeling better, especially after that little breakup." Sabine smiled.

"O-oh... Uhm... yeah.." Marinette said, not sure if she was referring to Luka or Chat noir. All of the information that Adrien had given to her was now beginning to blur together.
