I cuddle my Care Bear teddy bear closer to my chest while snuggling deeper into my bed.

After the last time I babysat, I'm very happy to have two days off from the coffee shop and I only work one day for Mrs.Sinn which is tonight. I really hope tonight is calm and passes by fast but of course, that is a lot to ask for. At least for now, I can enjoy cuddling my bear and watching Lilo and Stitch.

As soon as the movie ends I look at the time and see it's almost seven so I get up and quickly  freshen up and put on a white shirt with little pink flowers that has a square neckline and lace trimming on the sleeve ends and some light wash overalls. I  think this outfit is cute and it's one of my favorites.

I pull my hair into a ponytail and split it into two braids and I tie a light pink ribbon to my hair and put on my light pink platform Converse. Hopefully, tonight goes by fast.

The drive to the Sinn house is fast and before I know it I'm stepping out of my car and Jeffery is opening the door. "Good evening Miss Carter." Jeffery greets me. "Good evening Jeffery." I smile, walking inside the door he is holding for me. "Tonight Mrs.Sinn has approved for the children to have a few friends over. Hannah is also here but will be leaving around nine and dinner is being delivered in fifteen minutes." Jeffrey tells me the rundown of everything. "Do you know what's being delivered?" I ask Jeffery, as kindly as possible. "No idea, Mr.Jace informed me that they discussed with their mother ordering food." Jeffery answers and I nod. "Well call me if you need anything, I am retiring to my quarters." Jeffrey bows and begins to walk toward the back of the house.

"Goodnight Jeffery."

I search around the bottom floor of the house for Hannah but she's nowhere on the bottom floor so I go up to the library. I find Hannah sitting on one of the fancy detailed sofas. "You've finally arrived." Hannah says, briefly glancing at me. "Yeah, it took me a while to find you." I lightly reply. I go over to the sitting area where Hannah is located and sit all my things down. "I'm hiding up here while my cousins set up their party." Hannah tells me.

This catches me off guard because I don't think they are allowed to have parties, especially while I'm here.

"No, they are not supposed to be having a party." Hannah states like she can hear what I'm thinking. They just don't listen to anything but the sound in their own heads, do they?

"I wouldn't waste your breath. I'd wait right now, they are just planning." Hannah says and honestly, maybe she's right.

The doorbell rings, filling the house with the sound. Some stuff they need must be here.

"I guess that's your cue." Hannah says, nonchalantly now practicing some ballet variation in the open space behind me. I'm already nervous. I place my sketchbook to the side and stand up to go to the door.
