    "Wake up sunshine" Claire tell Lillie. "It's already noon. Wake up sweetie" she shakes her.

     "Am up already. Am up" says Lillie

  "But you still in bed. Do you even remember what happened yesterday?"

    "I remember everything, as though it has just happened"

     "Then narrate"

     "I went to Mark's house..."

    "You mean that guy who brought you back"

    "He's the one who brought me home. Now am not sure if I remember anything"
   The door bell rings;

    "I'll get the door,but get out of bed and take a shower. You stink" Claire heads down stairs to get the door while Lillie organizes herself. Surprisingly, it's Mark at the door.

    "You have a visitor Lillie" Claire screams.

    "I'll be there in ten minutes"

    "I guess you'll have to come in. She's just woke up"

    "Am really sorry for yesterday. We we're trying to have fun" Mark apologizes.

    "Of course, you had fun and we don't have a problem with that, but we shall have a problem when you do something stupid" Samuel says.
     "Honey, no need to threaten" Claire says.

    "Am not threatening, am warning him"

    "I got it sir" Mark replies.

     "Don't bother apologizing if you are going to make the same mistake again" Samuel says.

   "What can I get for you" Claire asks Mark.

    "Mere water can work" he replies.

    Lillie gets downstairs and is surprised to see Mark.
    "Oh my! What brings you here?" She asks.

    "Be kind" Claire says.

    "Come upstairs, we shall talk from there" Lillie says.
    Mark gets up and follows Lillie to her room.

   "Am really sorry, I should have informed you before coming" he says.

     "Am cool. It's just that I am surprised. Have a seat"

     "I just wanted to make sure you are ok"

     "Thank you by the way for bringing me home"

     "It was hard, but you helped me with it"
    "I was drunk"
     "That's why I said it was hard. It was my responsibility by the way since I invited you over" both laugh.

    "What happened. Did I ruin the hang out?"

   "No, you didn't. It went well"

    "That's a relief."

     "I just came here to take you outside. Is it okay?"

    "It's fine, but maybe next time. Today I wanna stay home."

    "Then can I stay. I just want to spend some time with you"

   "Am cool. We can do a ton of stuff here"

    "By the way, your house is amazing. Its similar to a mansion"

   "I hate it when you say so"

     "My mouth is shut"

     "But thanks. Now, today I wanted to clean the basement, wanna help?"
