Amayla reads her book until she hears the door open, revealing her boyfriend and grandfather, finally arriving home after so many hours.

"Thank you for your help, Reginald." Mr. Smith says as he shakes his hand.

"No problem, sir, anytime."

Mr. Smith goes upstairs while Amayla gets up from the couch and stares at Reggie. "Hey, how was it?"

Reggie goes to her and wraps his hands around her waist as he rests his head on his shoulder. "Very tired, but I'm okay."

Amayla kisses his ear and cups his face. "How about you take a shower, eat, and we can rest outside in the blanket swing."

Reggie nods and smiles while looking down at her. "Love that plan."

Filled up from three croissants and fruit, Reggie cuddles Amayla inside the blanket swing while running his fingers through her soft hair.

"I love your hair..." Reggie whispers.

"I love your hair too.." Amayla whispers back.

Reggie sighs as he rests his lips on her forehead. "I can see myself living here.."

Amayla breathes softly on his chest while listening to him; "It's peaceful.."

"Yeah, it is.." She says while watching the blanket swing side to side.

Reggie rests his eyes while still holding Amayla in his arms while the wind softly run through their hair. "Reggie?.."

"Hm?.."

"What if my parents lie again?.."

Reggie opens his eyes. "I don't think they won't.."

"But what if they do?.." Amayla says as she looks up at him.

Reggie looks down and caresses his thumb onto her cheek. "They love you too much to see you hurt again.."

Amayla's eyes soften as Reggie slowly kisses her, feeling his lips control hers. Amayla cups Reggie's face while they both go deeper into the kiss, causing the butterflies to flow within their stomachs.

Their lips slowly break apart, while they both rest their foreheads against another while they feel the comfort of the blanket swing them back and forth against the Colorado breeze.

Diana comes downstairs and walks towards the front door and puts on her boots until Mrs. Smith walks towards her with her hands on her hips.

"Where are you going, missie?"

"I'm just getting takeout from Wing Alley, I had a taste." Diana says.

"Hm, let your sister and Reginald go with you. I don't want you to be alone, especially at this time of night."

Diana groans. "Grandma -"

"AMAYLA!! TAKE REGINALD WITH YOU AND GO WITH YOUR SISTER TO WING ALLEY!"

Amayla walks up the stairway and yells: "OKAY!"
