My eyes fluttered open and I groaned, trying to adjust my eyes to the sudden light. I rolled over in my bed to check the clock, 8:13.

I ran my hands over my face before my eyes widened and I sat up in bed. I completely forgot there's a kid in my house right now.

I sighed before throwing the red duvet off of my body and slowly climbing out of bed. I walked to my bathroom, brushed my teeth and hair, and changed into some skinny jeans and a cropped red shirt.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen to quickly get breakfast started. I still wasn't sure what Elizabeth liked but she seems to not have tried a whole lot of different foods so I just made some French toast, eggs, and bacon.

As I made the food, I thought about everything that happened and what on earth I'm gonna do. I'd be crazy to even think about making her go back to that place, but I can't just let her stay here, can I?

I sighed angrily to myself as I thought, but the voice in my head was cut off when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs a few seconds before Elizabeth appeared in the kitchen.

"Hi." She greeted me shyly. I smiled at her softly, not wanting her to know about my internal freak out.

"Hey, sweetie. Breakfast is almost done, I just have to finish the eggs." She nodded at me and took a seat at the kitchen table.

I finished up the eggs quickly and gave her a plate: "thank you." She muttered quietly.

"No problem." I sat down with my plate as well. "So, I just realized I don't know that much about you." I said.

"What do you want to know?" She replied with a small smile.

"Hm, let me think." I clicked my tongue together in thought. "What's your middle name?"

"Marie." She replied and I nodded. "Okay, uh, favorite color?" I asked next. "Purple." She answered.

"Me too!" I smiled, glad we have something in common, even if it's something very small. "What's your favorite album of mine?"

"Uhm, Foklore." She replied, leaning back in her seat in a relaxing manner. Hopefully she's a little bit more comfortable now, I thought.

"Good choice, good choice. Do you have any other favorite singers?"

"Hm." She thought for a second. "Uh, I- I like Harry Styles too, and Olivia Rodrigo." She paused for a second, like she was worried I'd get upset at that answer. Probably 'cause Harry is an ex and people decided to start a rumor that Olivia and I have a huge fued, which isn't even true.

She noticed my calm demeanor so she kept going. "I also listen to One Direction sometimes, I also like Gracie Abrams and Sabrina Carpenter! And I listen to Ed Sheeran sometimes. That's all I can think of right now." She finished.

"All good choices." I replied and she smiled shyly.

"Dog person or cat person?" I asked next.

"Cat." She replied and I let out a breathe. "Good, there was a right answer to that, by the way. And you got it, so you're good." I nodded and she chuckled. I silently celebrated in my head. I got a laugh out of her!

"Okay, uh, do you have any questions for me?" I asked.

"Well, I pretty much know everything about you already." She shrugged. "Really?" I laughed.

"Yep." She said.

"Okay, then, what's my middle name?" I asked.

"Alison." She replied positively.
