| set the guitar aside. “Are you really going to play her a song on that thing?” Anders asks me.
“Yep. I've found the song | want to play, | just need to get better, then pick my venue.”
“How are we going to get them to agree to go to Prom with us?”
“That, my friend, is the question of the day.”
After Anders goes to his room, | shower and get into bed. | make sure my phone volis up, just in case. This
time, | hear the ping around 12:30.

the roof.
When we get there, | have the blankets already laid out. “I thought maybe you'd want to lay up here again, so |
dropped off a couple more blankets so it's a bit softer to sleep here.” | tell her before getting settled then
motioning for her to join me. When she does, | pull another blanket over us.
“What made you start coming out here? I’'mean, it's a great view, but was that the reason? You said it was a

amazing having her touch me.
“How did you manage? | mean, | don’t know if I'll ever have a relationship with my parents again. | don’t have
any siblings either.” She looks up at me. “How did you get over it.”

makes it easier.” | tell her.

she falls asleep.
‘She likes my purr. Donovan says proudly.
‘It’s a soothing sound for her.’
‘Andra likes it too. | can feel her respond as well.”
“I'm hoping we'll be meeting up here more often and you can purr to both of their hearts’ content. | tell him.

you're gone.”
We fold up the blankets, putting them away, before making our way back to her window. | quickly check her
room before opening the window and helping her inside.
