Charlotte woke up the following morning to her mum pulling the small curtains back . Her little window where Charlotte would usually find her self sitting on or escaping through now let in the early morning light .
Charlotte tightened her eyes and stirred .
Polly knelt down beside her and placed a soft hand on Charlottes side .
"Wake up darling , I'm taking you and Michael out today " Polly whispered softly
Charlotte slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them instinctively.
"You look shattered " mumbled Polly as she stood up to get out an outfit for Charlotte to wear .
Charlotte sat up and bit her nails blankly , secretly hoping Tommy hadn't mentioned anything about last night to her mum .
"Stop biting your nails Charlotte " Polly scolded with her back still turned as she sorted through draws .
Charlotte rolled her eyes and sighed .
"Here " said Polly as she placed a dress and other pieces of clothing down on the bed " now get dressed quick , breakfast is on the table "
"Where we going " asked Charlotte as she stood up
"You'll see " Polly responded as she exited the room
Charlotte raised her eyebrows before getting dressed into a navy dress . She then placed on her black boots and did the top bit of her hair up before placing a white bow in it .
She walked down the stairs and hopped on a wooden stool at the table . Michael was already seated and he smiled warmly at Charlotte .
She smiled in return and reached over for a piece of toast . As she buttered it Polly came round the corner and tutted ..
"You'd think you'd know how to do up a dress properly " Polly sighed as she came round and sorted out Charlottes dress from behind .
"Maybe if you'd taught me I would know " Charlotte mumbled
Polly heard and flicked her on the shoulder causing Micheal to chuckle to himself.
After breakfast it was time to leave . Charlotte followed her mother and Micheal to the door . Polly put on a hat and passed Micheal his coat .
"Thanks " Micheal said as he placed it on
Polly then opened the door and led Charlotte and Micheal outside to a car . Polly paused to retrieve the keys from her purse and then handed them to Micheal .
Micheal looked shocked and held them with a confused expression.
"Go on , you drive us , I'll tell you where to go "Polly said excitedly
"I've only ever driven tractors " Michael admitted
"Not to worry , we'll take it slow " Polly said
Charlotte sighed and got in the car
"If I die because of this then I'll never forgive you " Charlotte said the Micheal with a smirk
Micheal smiled back and got himself comfort in the drivers seat .
After a while of bumpy driving and restarting they finally made it to a row of suburb houses . Each one with a personal drive and piece of greenery .
Michael pulled outside one of the houses and parked the car .
"That was great , well done . Out we get then "said Polly as she smiled at Micheal .
