New Year’s Day
Autumn slowly opened her eyes. Connors arm lay across her. “Con.”
“Mmh.”
“Did we?”
He opened his eyes looking at both of them sleepily. “If we did, I sure as hell don’t remember.” He sturdier her unsurity. “You okay babe?”
“Yeah.”
“You sure?”
“What are they going to say?”
“Nought. We’re still dressed, babe.”
“But we could’ve still…”
“Maybe. Come on.”
They pulled themselves up tiptoeing out of the bedroom, across the upstairs landing and downstairs. Stenton looked at them and grinned cockily. “I see you two got what you wished for?” He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
“We didn’t do nought.”
“Yeah right.”
“We just went somewhere a little more private. To give each other our presents.”
“You sure as hell did that.” He cracked.
“Not that kind of present Stenton’s. God, you’re gross.”
“I know.” He chuckled.
“Well we’re off now we all need to shower and shit before tonight. I hope you guys are up for it. It’s going to be epic.”
