{PART TEN}
It's been a few minutes and his shirt was already in the dryer. They waited again and instead of the swirling, they can only hear a weird whizzing sound. Connor looked over to Eyanna and saw her eyes dropping. Connor laughs softly.
She must be really tired, he mused.
Before he knew it, her head dropped to his shoulder. It caught him by surprise. He looked over and saw a sleeping Eyanna. She looked so different when she's asleep. She's still as beautiful though. Connor's eyes widened then he shook his head.
What are you thinking? he scolds himself.
Eyanna continues to be asleep. Connor hesitantly lays his head softly on hers. It actually felt right. In that moment, Connor Danes knew it. The plan had gone on reverse. Instead of Eyanna, he was really the one falling and he was falling hard. He grabbed her hand and squeezed. He looked to see her reaction but she was still asleep. He laughs.
"You're a damn heavy sleeper," he whispers to her. He relaxes against her then closed his eyes. If he could describe this moment with one word, he can. He smiled. A genuine smile that hasn't been seen in awhile.
Bliss.

"Have you found her?"
"Not yet, Dmitri," Elisa replies with a very worried tone.
"Are you kidding me?" Dmitri snaps. "Are those policemen really doing their job? Or maybe they are just slacking around? I am going to find a way to fire those son of a-"
"Calm down, Dmitri," Elisa says as calmly as possible. "They will find her."
"They are probably not looking hard enough," Dmitri says, thinking. "What picture did you provide them with?"
"Her picture two years ago..."
"Provide them with a current one," Dmitri says. "Didn't she change her hair color or something?"
"I am not sure..."
For the first time in a while, Madame Elisa was not sure of herself. She didn't notice how Eyanna looks now. She can barely remember what she looked like this morning when she was heading to school. Madame Elisa felt very incompetent as a mother right now. With that, she choked down a sob.
"Give them the current one, okay?" Dmitri continues. "I'm going to board the plane right now. Double their search team if you have to."
"Yes, dear," Elisa replies. The other line beeped after. Elisa puts down the phone and sighs, trying so hard not to cry. They were so caught up in guarding their hurt feelings that they completely forgot Eyanna.
"What have I been doing?" she mutters, feeling miserable.

Connor's eyes fluttered open as light sreamed throught the windows. Eyanna was still sleeping peacefully on his shoulder. He smiled softly then noticed his hand covering hers. His grip tightened when his heart started beating fast for a moment. His other hand moved and his eyes widened. He turned to that side and saw his shirt, clean, dry and folded.
"I took it out for ya," the lady from the counter says, still popping her bubblegum. "You still sleepin' when it was done."
"Thanks," Connor says.
"Pssh," the girl says. "Am Brianna by the way. Is tha' ya girl?"
Connor knew the answer. It was huge no but he wished...
I wish she was, he mused.
"She's ya girl, right?" Brianna asks. "I saw'r you two getting hot last night. I thought you was going to do it right then and there but it looked like ya girl stopped ya."
