I couldn't help but smile as I reread the the note over and over. I also swooned when I realized that Harry had carried me from the couch to my bed. I got out of bed when my stomach made it's presence known and went into the kitchen. As soon as I reached the kitchen I noticed that all of the plates from last night were not out on the coffee table and not on the counter or in the sink. Henry carried me to bed and then stayed to clean the dessert plates.
As I walked over to the Keurig I saw that it was 9 am. My American phone rang and a picture of my mom popped up on the screen.
"Hi Momma" "Hey Sweetie. Daddy and I are on our way to you, want to go eat brunch before you take us to the ferry?" "Oh sure Momma, I think that is a great idea. I'm not quite ready yet so just come on in. I'm going to go hop in the shower." "Ok. But shower quickly your father's stomach is growling and I think the cab driver just heard it." "Oh Daddy. Ok I'll make it quick and hey if you happen to see a delivery man down stairs let him up too I am waiting for my new British phone to arrive." "Ok, will do. well I am going to let you off the phone so you can get in the shower. I love you we'll see you in a few minutes" "Love you both." I said hanging up and heading in the direction of the bathroom.
After showering I got dressed and went into the living room.

When I got to the living room my parents were sitting on the couch. On the coffee table were a bouquet of peonies and a brown wrapped box.

"Hi Mom and Dad...you brought me flowers?" I asked confused "We did not. We thought you ordered them." My dad answered getting up and walking over to give me a hug. "Is there a note?" My mom asked looking around the bouquet "ah hah...found it" mom plucked the card from the bouquet and handed it to me.
I took it from her and opened the envelope and read the familiar script.
Victoria, I had a wonderful time last night. Tonight I would like to take you somewhere. Time to show you London as only I have seen it. Please call me when you can. -Henry
