"Ruel, you should also eat something. Breakfast is, after all, the most important meal of the day." Kate said.

"Okay fine." Ruel said. He picked up a small piece of waffle and began devouring that.

Coco walked up to Adalyn and whispered in her ear.

"Hey Adalyn." Coco called out.

"Yeah Coco?" She asked.

"Can we talk?" She asked.

"Of course."

"Great. You can go up to our room, I'll come in a minute."

"Okay." Adalyn got up from her seat and went up to their room. Their conversation was inaudible for everyone else.

"Hey Ruel. I was thinking we both can FaceTime dad and Sylvie." Sylvie was their older sister.

"Yeah of course." He said.

"Let's go to my room, we'll talk there, okay?"

"Yeah sure."

Both of them got up and walked up to Coco and Adalyn's room. Ruel was unaware that Adalyn was there and Adalyn was unaware Ruel is on his way to their room. And Coco's master plan was on its way of perfection.

Suddenly the door opened. Adalyn got up from the bed to meet Coco.

"Coco what do you wanna talk abo-" Adalyn stopped mid sentence when her eyes met Ruel's.

"Coco I thought we were going to FaceTime dad and Sylvie. What the hell?!" Ruel exclaimed.

"And I thought you were going to talk to me about something important!" Adalyn cried.

"Okay I lied to the both of you. Now, both of you sit down." She said sternly.

"Uggghh fine." Ruel groaned as he sat on the bed. Adalyn copied his actions and sat with him, keeping her distance of course. Coco closed the door and sat down in between them.

"I know something has happened between the both of you. So spill." She said, developing an older sister persona.

"Coco I've no idea why Adalyn's like that." Ruel said, hoping that this lie will prevent him and Adalyn from spilling last night's events.

"Ruel, shut up. I know something has happened between the both of you. Adalyn, you tell me." At the mention of her name, Adalyn's head shot up.

"O-okay." She said. She took a deep breathe before speaking. "Yesterday, I wasn't able to sleep. So I went down-"

"Addie, please tell me the truth. You told me the same thing in the morning."

"Coco, that part is the truth only." Ruel said.

"Yes." Adalyn nodded. "So I went down in the hotel's garden and sat on the bench. Ruel also came out, as he wasn't able to sleep too. He suggested we go to the park. I agreed and we went there."

"Guys, you aren't allowed to do that." Coco said.

"We know, but it all just happened." Ruel said, looking at his lap.

"Okay. Proceed."

"At the park, we laid down. Had a bit of conversation, nothing much. But when we began talking about the night sky, and what we feel when we look at that, Ruel said that-"

"I remember her eyes; sparkling brighter than the stars, setting my soul on fire." Ruel finished, with a dreamy look on his face.

"What?!" Coco exclaimed.
