---------------------------------------------

Calum was having what he and Michael called as a 'man night' at Claire's entertainment room at the third floor. They were playing a game called Call of Duty. Michael chose this game because, oh, well, he was an expert with it.

From all of his best friends, Michael was the game freak. He had a lot of game collections in his room back in Sydney. Sometimes he even brought along his games wherever he went to.

The house were only occupied by them- besides Mr and Mrs. Lee and their family who lived on the small guest house at the backyard. Claire was out for a 'ladies dinner'- that's what she called them before.

"Guys, I'm home," Claire called as she walked up the stairs to the third floor.

"Hey, Claire," Calum greeted, his eyes were still fixed on the tv screen.

"Hey, baby sist," Michael said at the same time with Calum. He looked at his sister who was now standing near him and he looked back at the tv.

"Wow, you guys surely are excited to see me, huh?" Claire rolled her eyes then plopped down at the couch, beside Michael.

Michael paused the game then looked back to her frowning sister. "Aww, don't be like that, lil sist," he cooed and pinched her cheeks lightly.

Claire tried her best to not crack a smile, but it failed. She grinned to Michael which causing Michael grinned back at her.

Calum cleared his throat, reminding the Clifford siblings that he was in the room with them. "So, how was the dinner, Claire?"

Claire's smile quickly appeared on her face. She couldn't wait to tell Calum about her plan. "It was really great," she said excitedly, "We discussed our schedule or plans for our weeks in New York. You know, some preparation before the wedding in Miami."

"Was Helena there with you guys?" Michael asked Claire.

Helena was his fiancé. She didn't come along with him to London because she thought that Michael needed some time to spend with his best friend. Helena had promised Michael that they would meet in New York weeks before Claire's wedding. He was beyond excited to see his fiancé and his little baby boy, Nathan. He really missed them.

Claire nodded. "Yes. She will stay at the hotel until tomorrow. She thought that you guys would come to New York tomorrow. That's why she booked the hotel until tomorrow."

Claire looked at Calum who was fiddling his fingers on his lap. She suddenly remembered about her plan to tell Calum about tomorrow's lunch with Summer.

"Hey, Cal, guess what." Calum turned his attention to Claire who looked really happy tonight.

"What?" Calum said in a bored tone.

"I've found a date for you to my wedding," Claire said proudly and she wiggled her perfectly plucked eyebrows teasingly to Calum.

"What?" Calum exclaimed. He stared Claire like she had grown three heads.

"I know you're really excited but please don't react like that," Claire said sarcastically which earned an eye roll from Calum.

"Who's this girl?" Calum couldn't help himself to ask it. He was curious.
