(Y/n) walked around the side if her house and looked up at the window where she knew Victoria's room was. She noticed the vines that wound all the way up to her balcony, and began to climb.

...

In her room, Victoria was sitting on the couch sewing, when she heard a knock on her door.

"Come in." She said.

The door opened and Victor entered the room.

"Oh, hello Victor."

"Hello, Victoria. Um...May I talk to you?" He asked nervously.

"Of course. Please sit." She gestured to the couch.

Victoria gasped and opened the door and let her sister inside. "(Y/n)! It-It isn't what it looks like!"

"Please don't be mad at your sister, it was all my fault." Victor said, trying to cover for Victoria.

"I'm so happy for you two." (Y/n) said.

The two stared at her in utter shock. "You-you are?"

"Yes. In fact, this makes things a whole lot easier." (Y/n) chuckled.

Victoria noticed her sister shivering. "Oh, come by the fire. Where have you been? Are you alright?"

The three sat down in the couch and Victor and Victoria waited for (Y/n)'s explanation.
