The apartment they moved into was small. Very small. If Lynx hadn't been so comfortable with Lauren and her mother she would not have even went along with it.

It was a two room house, with two bathrooms, a kitchen, a few storage closets, and a sitting room. Lynxs mum seemed almost ecstatic to be moving away into the tiny house.

Their home was on the 15th floor of the building, right in the middle of the hall. Lynx was quite bored with the house until she found out it had a balcony. It was a very small perch big enough for a chair and one standing person, but Lynx knew if she put a comfy chair out there to replace the plastic one Lauren would sit and read to her for hours.

Lynx was feeling happy too now. After they had moved most of the furniture Lynx's mum took over and insisted she design the sitting room, bathrooms, and her room.

Lynx hurriedly took a huge chair from the lounge and scooted it onto the balcony, setting up a small table beside it. She put the plastic chair in her mother's room, hoping it could be of some use.

Lynx then sneaked into her and Lauren's room, grabbing a very worn copy of Harry Potter. Lynx stuck to book in her back pocket, and found Lauren stacking towels in the bathroom.

"Hey!" Lynx exclaimed wrapping her arms around Lauren's waist, pulling her back and making her drop the towels.

Lauren laughed and turned around.

"I know that face Lynx, you have something planned for me don't you." Lauren smiled.

"I want you to read to me." Lynx said, grabbing Lauren's hand and leading her out to the balcony and pushing her into the chair.

Lauren laughed and slid her hands down Lynx's sides.

"I'm guessing you have a book picked out?" Lauren asked.

Lynx nodded and pulled the Harry Potter book from her back pocket. Lauren laughed and grabbed it from her hands, finding the bookmark in it and moving it to the front page. Lauren started the first chapter, and Lynx got comfy.

Lauren read the book for quite a while, until Lynx's mum came out to the balcony to check on them. Lauren put down the book in time to see Lynx mum hold up a thumbs up and leave. Lauren looked over to Lynx and saw that she was asleep.

Lauren put the book down and pulled Lynx closer. She hoped that this could last forever
