     I laid in bed, not being able to fall asleep. I get up to go watch tv when I see Tord in the kitchen, playing with a gun.
"What are you doing up"? He asks when I walk in. I don't answer him and I go to the fridge and grab a beer.
"Silent treatment now"? He asks giving me a smirk.
"Listen, whatever I say you can use against me, so it's better if I just don't speak at all" I sag sitting across from him. He shrugs and goes back to his gun. I look at the gun for a fee moments and Tord sets it on the table, putting his hands in his lap.
"Take it" he tells me. I look up at him in confusion.
"Wha-I...for what"? I ask slowly reaching for it.
"You can use it for tomorrow" he tells me.
"Tomorrow"? I say checking if the gun is loaded.
"Let's make a deal" he says. I put the gun down, and look at him giving him the signal to keep taking.
"You come to the gun range with me tomorrow, and we will talk" he says leaving his seat and goes to his room. What just happened? I'm so confused. Tom walks in startling me.
"Oh sorry, uh...what's the gun for"? He asks pointing to the gun on the table.
"Oh haha don't worry it's not loaded" I say standing up. He raises an eyebrow at me, then goes back to his normal expression.
"What are you doing up"? I ask getting another beer.
"I just...couldn't fall asleep" he says also taking a beer. We go and watch tv for a while. Tomorrow. Guns, talk? What does he mean?
"Margrett"? Tom asks facing me.
"Yea"? I answer back.
"Well, I was curious...if you would maybe...like to go to a movie sometime"? He asks while giving a quick smile. I smile and blush.
"Of course" I say.
