"You're sleepy."
"Unfortunately, I am. I wanted to stay awake longer, and enjoy every minute with you. "
"Me too, but I'm sleepy, and I think it's a great idea pajamas and bed today."
"Before pajamas and bed, I'm going to take a shower and make a shopping list. I'll need to go to the supermarket tomorrow."
"I can take you to the supermarket. I'm going to buy something for tomorrow's dinner."
"And what should I take?"
"Don't worry, we'll see something together. Now let's take a shower before I lose sleep and don't let you sleep."
"Try to reach me, then."
She ran ahead of me, taking off her clothes and throwing the pieces on the floor. I went after her, picking up her clothes from the floor, and putting them on top of the bedroom chair. I heard the shower and she said:
"You don't come?"
I took off my clothes, put them next to hers on the chair and got in the shower with her.

I woke up earlier than Amy, I did not want to wake her up. I watched while she slept. She looked peaceful, but something made her wake up. With a huge smile, she turned and stretched.
"Slept well?"
"Yes, and you?"
"Also."
"I'm going to change and prepare our breakfast. What do you want for yours?"
"I think I'm going to have toast with butter, chocolate milk and banana with oats."
"OK. I'll make French toast too."
"Perfect."
I pulled Amy close to me, and kissed her. I got out of bed and went to the closet to get dressed. When I left, she was sleeping again. I decided to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, as soon as it was ready, I would call her.

"Hey, sleepyhead." I said a couple of times in her ear, low enough not to wake her with a start.
She woke up with a smile, but could not open her eyes, stretched her arms to hug me. She kissed my neck, and said:
"I need to get up and get dressed."
"Take your time. Breakfast is ready."
She released me, stretched, got up and went to the closet taking off her pajamas and throwing them along the way. I started to laugh and went after her picking up the pieces on the floor. When I entered, she was already wearing a white dress. I stopped at the door to look at her. She turned and opened the biggest smile, the most beautiful one, for me. She looked in the mirror and started pulling her hair up and pinning it up in a bun. She opened one of the doors and took a strange pair of shoes:
"What shoes are these?"
"They're espadrilles."
"OK. Let's eat."

I convinced Amy to leave the breakfast dishes to wash after we got back from the supermarket, it was not easy. When we got there, she took her cell phone out of her purse to see the list she had made and not forget anything.
"What are you going to buy for dinner?"
"I'm going to buy some fruit and prepare a fruit salad for dessert. Vincent and Lilian are very fond of fruits."
"And what can I take?"
"Take flowers to Lilian. She loves flowers."
"And for Vincent?"
"A book."
"I know a place to buy good books."
"The brat mom's store."
"Don't talk like that."
"Have you finished getting everything you need?"
"Yes."
We left the supermarket and went to Ethan's mother's bookstore.
"Amanda! Good to see you. You look beautiful."
"Thank you, Susan."
"How can I help you, beautiful girl?"
"I need a book to give away..."
Amy and Susan ran the entire store to choose a book. Amy left the store satisfied with the gift-wrapped purchase.
"We'll buy the flowers when we're going to the McNamaras' house."
"McNamara? That's the name of... Lilian McNamara. Why didn't you tell me I'm going to have dinner at the house of the principal at the school where I work? "
"I didn't want you to be worried or embarrassed about it."
"Why don't you tell me about your stuff? I'm always surprised by something you do or say to me. "
"Amy..."
"You don't tell me anything about yourself or your plans."
"Amy, it's not that I don't want to tell you about me. I just don't think it's a good time to tell you my story. I'll tell you everything, but not today and not now. Come here."
I pulled her up to hug and kiss her. I took her face and said:
"There's nothing to worry about. We'll still talk a lot about me and you too. I don't want this to be a concern for you."
"I'll do anything to prevent it."
I smiled at her, and after a few seconds she smiled at me.
"Now let's go. Let's go somewhere to eat."
" Shall we buy and eat at home?"
"OK."
