Chapter 36: Breakfast On The Terrace

I look inside her vanity cupboard, in search of a spare toothbrush. I'm not sure she'd want me using hers. I find a packet of toothbrushes and choose a blue one. I quickly brush my teeth and then place the brush next to hers. I grin at the sight, but I'm not quite sure why.

She's still asleep when I return to her room in a towel. I dry myself off and get dressed in my clothes from last night. I haven't heard any noise from the other inhabitants of the flat, so I trek back into the living room, flip the TV on and turn it to the news before making my way over to her kitchen to make us both some breakfast.

Just as I am finishing off a pair of omelettes, someone enters the room.

"Rory? Is that you?" Tallulah turns to face me. Her face is a picture. "You're not Aurora."

I chuckle.

"Nope."

"We've not actually met." Tallulah smiles at me friendlily. "Landon, right?"

Pride swells in my chest at the knowledge that she's talked about me to her friend.
