(GL's POV)
The rays hit my eyes, forcing me to sit up. I stretched and wore my slippers.
Before going downstairs, I washed my face and fixed my bob.
"Good morning", I greeted as I walked down the stairs.
David immediately stood up and ran to help me.
I chuckled. "You don't have to, big boy."
He lead me to the table and took a seat out for me.
"Really, Glitters. You can just stay here. We can handle the shop ourselves."
I shook my head. "It's okay, Mrs. Ortiz. Besides, I have nothing to do here. And I can still help."
The old woman sighed and placed a piece of bread on my plate. I took a sip from my glass of milk before admiring Twinkle, basking in the sun.
"I think Twinkle gained some weight", I pointed out.
"She's pregnant, all right", Mrs. Ortiz said.
"Oh. Sweet kitty", I purred.
"There's a lot of babies going on around here", Daniel blurted out, stabbing his potato.
Mrs. Ortiz and I looked at each other, and laughed.
I ruffled his hair. "You don't like it, big boy?"
The 10-year-old pushed away my hand. "I will like them if I name them."
I nodded. "Sure."
He brightened up. "No way!"
I chuckled. "Yes way."
He proudly beamed. "All right!"
"Now now. Let's finish up and we still have to go to the shop", Mrs. Ortiz interrupted.

I arranged the flowers beautifully as I smiled at passers-by.
"Good morning, Glitters", a familiar voice greeted.
I stood straight and turned around. "Hey, Max."
He smiled at me. "You still not changing your mind?"
I rolled my eyes. I knew it.
"We've talked about this already. I don't need suitors right now."
I turned to go inside when he held my arm.
"Okay okay, fine", he tried to stop me.
I looked at the tall blonde police officer and sighed. "I have to go back inside now."
"I was just fooling around. I actually came here to tell you something else."
I pushed a bunch of strands behind my ear. "Okay. What is it?"
"GL?"
I felt the hair on my arms stand. Nobody around here calls me that.
"Hey! I told you to wait at the post", Max scolded the guy.
I slowly turned around and there he was,
Cedric,
standing a few feet away from me.
My eyes started getting watery. "How did you find me?"
