RICKY WOKE up in the middle of the night, Gideon's arm wrapped around his torso.

It hadn't been that long since she had fallen asleep, so he wasn't as tired as he thought.

His phone buzzed from the dresser. He didn't want to wake Gideon, so he removed himself from her and grabbed his phone.

Even though it was only a text, he still stepped out of the room.

A message from Seb simply saying, "Hey, it's Seb. Is Gideon okay? I didn't want to bother her, you know?"

Ricky smiled. He liked the friendship between Gideon and Seb.

He quickly texted him back saying she was okay for the time being.

He walked back into his room taking one last look at Gideon before wrapping his arms around her and falling back asleep.


IF THE knock on the door didn't wake Ricky up nothing would have.

He stumbled downstairs and opened the door to Charlie.

"These are for Gideon. I didn't know what she wanted to wear, but it's her essentials."

Ricky grabbed the bag from him.

"She doing okay?"

"Um, she's not awake yet, sir, but she'll be better. She's Gideon."

Charlie nodded and rubbed his hands together.

"Of course. I have to head off but... take care of Gideon, we know she's strong, but sometimes the strongest are the weakest. Does that make sense?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, good." Charlie chuckled, "See you soon, Ricky."
