Once arriving back at the hotel and getting changed, the visitors were eager to find a restaurant on the street for them all to eat at on that night. Freddy said that him and Amy would go with them to find one, but Amy had to wash the white foundation off of her skin - they insisted on exploring themselves anyway.
While Amy finished up after the shower Freddy was watching from the balcony in an attempt to see which one they were walking into. "They've gone in the one on the corner near your favourite flower shop," Freddy called, walking back into the living room staring down at his phone to message them that they'd be down soon.
"You mean your favourite flower shop?" Amy laughed, her back turned to him.
Freddy shrugged pocketing his phone, "potato potato."
It wasn't until now that Freddy finally looked up at her and found himself smiling, but honestly, he always did when he looked at her. It was just instinct - muscle memory.
Amy had fashioned a pair of green trousers - colour matching the coat he bought her for Christmas which coincidentally hung over her arm - black fitted sweater and black doc martens. Also coincidentally, Freddy had a black shirt on but he wasn't wearing green trousers instead he was wearing grey.
"You ready to go?" Amy asked slipping her arms into her coat as she smiled at him.
Freddy picked up his coat from the sofa and nodded, "yeah."
Freddy pocketed his wallet before walking over to Amy and taking her purse from her pocket. "Hey!" Amy shouted as she tried to reach back for it, "I need that!"
"Not with me you don't," Freddy threw the purse through the open bedroom door where it landed on the bed. "Now come on."
Amy made a noise of frustration and mild annoyance as she let Freddy lead her to the door - he was a pain with her money.

Tom had his back to the door and Mike and Charlie were too busy attempting to read the menu - the English was way to small to read and Mike had left his glasses in the hotel - to see the scene that Lily got to watch.
She watched as her son and Amy walked past the window hand in hand before he held the door open for her. Whilst Amy unbuttoned her coat Freddy had quickly unzipped his and hung it up on the coat peg, when she had undone all the buttons Freddy gently slipped it from her frame with a soft smile.
Lily smiled too at the scene, she always did bring up her boys to be gentlemen and always knew Freddy was the best of them all so being able to watch him use what she'd taught him in such a kind way was the best reward.
"Hello again," Freddy smiled at his family as he pulled out the chair next to Tom for Amy to sit in - the woman smiled up at him in thanks for the gesture. Freddy soon took the seat beside her.
"Please tell me you have some way of working out what any of this is," Charlie gestured to the menu him and his dad were attempting to read after everyone had greeted the couple.
Freddy turned to Amy with a proud smile as she laughed and leaned forward slightly to point at the menu, "that's a Bolognese, fish, stir fry..." Amy continued to read off the menu with unsquinted eyes.
"You must have better than twenty twenty vision," Tom remarked with a laugh.
"Maybe, but for me it's easier to read the ones in bold."
"You speak Hungarian?" Lily asked with a smile, "that's amazing."
"I speak French, Italian and Spanish too."
