Gerard wakes up in the middle of the night and walks up to his room to go to sleep. He lays there for a while and decides he can't fall asleep so he opens his window and climbs onto a branch of the tree. He stares at the moon for a while until he starts dozing over. He sleepily climbs back in his window and goes to sleep.

When Gerard wakes up he turns over and makes eye contact with Frank. He starts to ask how he got in his house but before he could Frank puts his hand over Gerard's mouth and points at the open window. He takes his hand off of Gerard's mouth and hands him another white rose. Probably from Gerard's garden.

Frank looks behind Gerard and sees the vase of flowers that he had given him. He blushes and smiles at Gerard. Gerard knew what he had seen and brakes the silence. "So are you just going to sneak into my room from now on" turning around to place the rose in the vase.

"If you would like" Frank says smiling. Realization hitting Gerard in the face he jumps out of bed and says "wait I don't even know you! For all I know you could be a rapist or something". Frank sits up and looks Gerard dead in the eyes "I could say the same thing for you". "I'm not the one sneaking through windows" Gerard snaps back.

Frank's eyes widen and Gerard can see a mixture of surprise and hurt in them. Gerard's voice softens  "I mean maybe if we get to know each other we can trust each other". Frank's eyes lighten like a puppy. Gerard smiles and sits back on the bed.

"So,tell me about yourself".
