Adam wakes up in his bed. He turns over and grabs his phone. He has a text from Brielle.
Brielle: Good morning! Call me when you wake up :)
He dials her number, and she picks up.
"Good morning." He says.
"Morning sleepy head. You sleep good?" She asks.
"Yeah, I slept great. You?" He asks.
"Eh, I slept okay." She replies.
"What happened?"
"I don't know... I just stared at the ceiling all night."
"Aww, I'm sorry." He says.
"It's okay. Tonight's another night."
"Yeah. So, wanna have lunch today?" He asks.
"Sure! What time?"
"Two hours?"
"I'll be there."

Brielle knocks on Adam's door, and he opens it. Her smile lights up his house. He opens his arms and she goes into them.
"Hi Brielle."
"Hi Adam." She says hugging him back. He lets go and looks at her.
"Hi." He says blushing. He kisses her cheek and grabs her hand.
"Come on, let's go listen to the song. I still haven't listened to it yet!" He says. They start walking down to the studio.
"Adam?" Brielle says. Adam stops mid-way on the stairs. He looks back at her.
"When do you get your cast off?" She asks pointing to his leg.
"Oh, um..." He says getting his phone out of his pocket.
"Oh...today." He says staring at his calendar. He looks up at her with a shocked expression.
"What time?" She asks.
"Half hour." He replies. She grabs his hand and starts back up the stairs.
"Come on, you need to get it off." She says going towards the front door.
"Yeah, you're right."

"It feels so weird." He says.
"I know. It'll be okay." Brielle reasures him as they walk inside. They go back down the stairs to the studio. Adam sets up a little place for them to sit. He starts the song and they sit down together. Brielle lays against Adam's chest, and his arms are wrapped around her waist.
"We sound amazing together!" He says.
"We do compliment each other nicely, don't we?"
"Yeah, we do!" He replies. They listen to the rest of it and smile together.
"That was really good. You sounded beautiful, dear." Adam says. She leans back and smiles at him.
"Thank you." She says. He smiles back, leans down, and kisses her forehead. All of the sudden, a gurgling noise comes from his stomach. They look at each other and laugh.
"Hungry?" She asks, laughing. He nods and she gets up. She helps Adam get up and they walk upstairs. They look in the fridge and come up with something to eat. They sit at the table and chow down. After lunch, they do the dishes together.
"Hey Adam?"
"Yes, darling?"
"What do you want to do today?" She asks. He dries his hands and looks at Brielle.
"Hmm... I'm not sure." He says.
"I don't know either. If it wasn't March I'd say we could go swimming. But, it's March." She says. Adam smiles at Brielle.
"Go grab your coat."
