It was finally Saturday, but I haven't seen Leander all day.  My parents decided to take a family trip to Hoopson to visit my uncles and my cousin, who I realized was acting very strange and didn't even speak to me properly.  Vita and I always got along, but this time she looked like someone else.  She was more irritable, she didn't speak to me well, nor did she let me go with her to meet her friends.

My mother seemed concerned about Vita and always exchanged looks and whispers with my aunt.  My father was irritated the whole trip due to my bored face, which I didn't even want to hide, and mainly because of my cousin's behavior.  My uncle, with all his calm, who tried to reassure him.

All I know is that it was a waste of time and I was tense all day being in Hoopson after that mess with the werewolves.  My nightmare would be if some stinky wolf decided to pick a fight while I was with the family.

However, everything went well.  We came home when it was already dark.  I took a shower and instead of putting on pajamas, I managed to pay a surprise visit to Leander.  I missed him.

I teleported to his room and, as usual, he jumped in surprise when he saw me sitting at the window.

"Why don't you tell me you're coming ?!  Or I don't know, use the door!" He said catching his breath.

His hair was wet and he wore a towel wrapped around his waist.  Music played in the room and only the lamp was on, illuminating the room with an orange light making the room more cozy.

"I was homesick and wanted to make a surprise visit." I said throwing a kiss in the air to him. "My day was boring with this family outing for Hoopson."

"I imagine, family outings are hardly fun." He said laughing and pointed to himself.  "I need to change."

I covered my eyes with one hand, but spread my fingers open, leaving one eye exposed.

"Nice try." He said laughing and taking a sweatpants that was on the chair.

I laughed and he left the room towards the bathroom.  I got up from the window and went to the bed, took off my shoes and lay down to wait for him.

In a few minutes he returned wearing only his pants and rubbing the towel on his hair.  I took the opportunity to look at him better.  He had a well-shaped body, the muscles were well defined, but nothing too hypertrophied.  His shoulders were broad which made him look stronger, he didn't have a lot of body hair and I couldn't tell if it was because he removed it or because of genetics.  On face I could see a little bit of hair from a stubble of a growing beard that was as light as his hair.  I found it funny to realize that he was already losing the tan he brought from Citane and his skin was now lighter than when we met.

"Do you exercise?" I asked after a while looking at him.

"I do some push-ups and sit-ups at home." He said still rubbing his hair.

"You're in good shape." I said laughing.

"I was on the swim team at my school in Citane and I also don't get fat easily." He explained and lay next to me on the bed.

I curled up next to him lying on his side and he hugged me from behind.

"Are you home alone?" I said looking at the nightstand.

"Yes, my father went to Michelle's house in Austral for the weekend." He said rubbing his nose on my shoulder.  "So you never sleep?"

"No." I said laughing.

"And eat?" He asked curiously.

"I don't need it either, but if I eat nothing happens." I shrugged.
