•Luke's Day•
Mal's POV:
A ray of light from the big windows woke me up this morning. I looked around, I forgot Mikey and I fell asleep in the fort last night. I sat up and he was still passed out, I looked for my phone which was face down under my pillow. I slid it in my pocket and jogged upstairs to shower.

I saw a nicely folded outfit on the foot of my bed. He must have brought it this morning, cause it wasn't there last night. Speaking of Luke, I haven't heard from him since yesterday morning. He said he was going to text me last night, oh well.

I got dressed. When I picked up the sweater something fell out of the pocket. I picked it up and it was a wrapped box with a note.

I open the note first (who wouldn't?).

Hey Princess, you're probably wondering what this is.... so open it. I love you. Xx Luke

I smiled and folded the note back up and placed it on my nightstand. I was to excited, I unwrapped the box and inside was a necklace on a piece of cardboard.

"Three little words; wear your necklace as a reminder that... I love you"

It was a good chain with three gems on it, and it was beautiful, I put it on and smiled.

Since I was ready, I went downstairs

Since I was ready, I went downstairs. I walked past a still sleeping Michael, and I joined my parents in the kitchen. I quickly grabbed a mug filling it with the dark liquid magic (we really like coffee in this house).

Jen: Morning Honey.

Mal: Good Morning.

I sat down at the breakfast bar. Dad handed me a plate with a smile, which I returned.

Colin: Are you excited about your day with Luke?

Mal: Yeah. Was he here this morning?

Colin: Uh, yeah. He came around 8.

Mal: Oh?

Jen: He saw you and Mike were still asleep and he didn't want to wake you. He dropped your clothes off and said he'll see us later.

Colin: Why?

Mal: I hadn't heard from him today. I wasn't sure when he was picking me up.

They nodded.

Colin: He picked a very nice outfit.

Mal: Yeah, he has good taste.

Jen: That's a cute necklace, I've never seen that one before.

Mal: Yeah, Luke bought it. It was tucked into the pocket of my sweater. It means I love you.

Jen: That's adorable.

I smiled.

Colin: Have you two talked about your situation, yet?

Mal: No we haven't. We kinda avoided the topic all summer, and we haven't been alone all week. We haven't really had the opportunity.
