'Had to head back home, sorry. Thanks for letting me stay over, I miss you.
-Klaus
P.S. meet me at the old white oak bridge at 8 . Love you!'

Ora had to have read over that letter at least a dozen times. She woke up late at 1 o'clock but sleeping in like that was normal for her. She was always ready for a nap if she wanted one.
Ora grabbed her phone and realized that her daily agenda now consisted of updating Percy on everything that was happening between her and Klaus. She messaged Percy basically summarizing the fooling at the arcade, the fact that Klaus stayed the night at her place, and that they had finally labeled their relationship. But she didn't put much emphasis on the relationship part because knowing Percy, she might have a heart attack from squealing too much. She was a good friend, but she had a problem with getting over excited sometimes.

"Okay so should I wear the skirt or the dress?" Ora showed off a a black lace skirt and a tight black leather dress in front of a camera on her phone in which she was skyping with Percy.
"The skirt for sure. Save the dress for a nighttime date."
"Mkay thanks Percy."
"Are you excited?" Percy sat, tanning, on a fold out chair in her back yard while she spoke to Ora. Her dark brown hair was up in a messy bun and she had large black sunglasses on.
"I honestly don't know what to expect. Klaus gave me no details about this rendezvous."

Ora walked along the dirt trail that led to the white oak bridge. She had made many memories with her brothers at that bridge. But in her opinion there honestly wasn't anything special about it.
In the distance she saw Klaus' figure, but he looked different. He was wearing white button-down dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, and black dress pants. She was right to dress nice. Ora couldn't help but admit to herself that Klaus looked extremely handsome when he wasn't wearing a band t-shirt and skinny jeans.
Ora slowly approached Klaus.
"You look nice."
"I can say the same about you." Klaus looked Ora up and down in her flowy mid-sleeved shirt tucked into a black laced miniskirt. He then grabbed her hand and strolled her along the walking trail until they came across a pavilion where Klaus had previously set up a small stereo and embroidered white Christmas lights along the railings. He led her up the steps to the pavilion and turned on the music on the stereo.
Klaus pulled her body close to his and swayed her around with her hand in his hand. The lights on the railings sparkled his eyes. This is everything Ora always wanted. He is everything Ora always wanted. She was in a fairytale and he was the one telling the story. Klaus tightened his arm around Ora's lower back and picked her feet inches above the ground. She squealed as he swung her around. He then slid her back down his body until her feet were on the the ground once again. The sun had gone down at just the right moment and the two were dancing together in solitude.
Ora grabbed the back of Klaus' neck gently and pulled his ear to her mouth. She whispered "you know that I love you right?"
Klaus removed her hand and leaned her back. He kissed her neck and moved his mouth up to her ear to whisper back "you know you're my world right?" Klaus brought her back up to a standing position, cuffing her hands as he gave her his soul with one last kiss; the longest one they ever did share.
