I wake up the next morning in Alma’s guest bedroom. Charlotte isn’t lying beside me, but I can hear her voice coming from the hallway. After putting on my jeans and t-shirt from yesterday, I saunter out to the living room to find Charlotte and Alma in the kitchen. Charlotte’s leaning against the counter, dressed in the same dress as yesterday and looks just as beautiful. Her hair is braided off to the side, the same way it was the day we met. She smiles the moment she sees me emerging from the hallway as does Alma.

“Good morning, ladies.” I plant a kiss on Alma’s cheek before giving Charlotte a quick peck on her lips.

“Good morning, lad,” Alma beams. “I trust you slept well.”

“Yes,” I laugh. “Much better than the small bed in my parents’ attic.”

“Aye,” Alma replies, turning to pour me a cup of tea. She hands me the steaming cup, and I bring the hot liquid to my lips, relishing its warmth.

“What kind of adventures do you both have planned for today?” Alma asks, slowly walking across the kitchen, opening her small white refrigerator. She pulls out a carton of cream and pours some into her empty cup before adding the hot tea.

I turn to Charlotte, and motion toward her, leaving her the opportunity to answer.

“Whatever this one would like.”

Charlotte takes a deep breath, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Actually, I’m leaving that up to you, Mase. I haven’t seen too many sights since I got here, just the Cliffs, of course, but I was hoping you could show me around.”

“Really?” I ask, arching an eyebrow.

“Yeah,” she giggles. “Is that so hard to believe? I am an American after all. I want to see all the sights.”

“Oh, Charlotte, my dear.” Alma walks past us, stopping just long enough to cup Charlotte’s cheek. “That sounds like a wonderful idea.”

Charlotte smiles at her great-aunt in response.

I shake my head and smile. “Okay, whatever you want.”

Alma leaves Charlotte and me standing in the kitchen, sitting at the small white breakfast table, eyeing us over her cup of tea.

“Spend some time with your laddie, my dear. I’m not going anywhere. Just be sure to set aside a wee bit of time for your old great-aunt over here.”

“Alma,” Charlotte replies, laughing under her breath. “I wouldn’t dream of not spending another moment of my trip with you. Of course, I’ll come back.”

“Perfect,” Alma grins. “Now, you both get out of here and have your fun.”

Four hours later, we’re sitting outside the Ennis Friary, an abandoned church dating back to the sixteenth century. Our stomachs are filled with the best fish and chips and whiskey Ennis has to offer. After taking her to my favorite pub in town, I almost took her back to the Cliffs. Charlotte had requested I take her to my favorite places I felt she must see during her time here in Ireland, and despite having gone there before, I couldn’t argue the Cliffs were definitely my favorite place.
