aybe it was a force of habit, but I woke up early the next morning right along with Meg. My body was fully prepared to do my chores. I had to keep telling myself we were on “vacation.”

“Psst,” Meg whispered even though I was fully awake, lying there with my eyes wide open.

“Water, grain, milk, and then hay, right?” I knew she was referring to the order in which I did my chores and I nodded. “Yep.”

“I’ll see you in a couple of days.” She promised.

Now that my eyes had a moment to adjust, I realized she was carrying a black duffel bag.

“Why in a couple of days?” I asked.

“We thought it would be easier if I just stayed over at your house for a couple of nights. You know, me being you is a hard job.” She smiled her cute little smile, and then signed. “Goodbye!” Perfectly.

In truth, she really was cut out for the job.

“Bye,” I said and then sank back into the pillows.

It was weird being in a foreign room, even in a cool room like Meg’s. So, I threw the covers off of myself and decided to get dressed in yesterday’s clothes, but there was a post-it note on the dresser for me from Meg.

“Xavier grabbed some of your clothes. I put them in the drawer below.” She wrote in beautiful cursive penmanship. They really had thought of everything, I realized, and my heart swelled a little with gratitude.

I opened one of the shelves and it was packed with my clothes neatly folded inside. I quickly got dressed in the first pair of jeans on top, which were my favorite actually. There was no way Xavier would know that right? Gawd. Did I wear them too many times? I couldn’t help but chuckle as I paired the look with a red turtleneck. I tried not to think too hard about Xavier going through my clothes, especially my underwear.

Also on my dresser, was a small black bag with my name written on another post-it note in the same beautiful handwriting. Inside, it was filled with toiletries, like my toothbrush and face cream. When did he find the time to do all this and sleep? I wondered in awe, but now I realized Meg never pointed out where the bathroom was in this place? As soon as I went to the door though, I noticed there was a note, which read, “Bathroom, that way.” With an arrow pointing left down the hallway. I smiled as I took down the note and headed out the door.

Now that I was in the hallway, I remembered Meg telling me that Xavier’s room was across from hers. The door was shut, and Lord knows, I didn’t have the guts it would take to look inside. How funny! After all this time, I still felt a tad bit shy and unworthy around him and his world.

Still, I wondered what his room looked like after seeing Megan’s, and my mark tried to give me the courage to peek in, but I kept walking, wondering what I would’ve found in there.
