“Ugh, I know…” Becky pouted, though she was mostly kidding. Mostly. But she did want to be near her brother, especially now that she had apparently had to cut ties with her parents… ugh. She smiled as he kissed her hand, feeling warmth rushing through her. God, she loved him. “That sounds perfect.” She said, liking the idea a lot. “But for right now..” Becky moved to stand up, keeping hold of his hand and giving him a gentle tug. “Come back to bed, I just wanna snuggle up.”

Christopher grinned while looking over at him. “Oh really? Well maybe we should do it. Come on not unless you are scared.” He teased lightly. But he wouldn’t mind fighting his friend again. 

He chuckled a bit, putting his hands on his hips. He shrugged his shoulders. “Of course, I’m not scared of you! Pfft.” He scoffed, shaking his head. “I think we should. We haven’t in a very long time.” He hadn’t done much fighting at all since his underground London trip that resulted in a coma. 

Becky loved getting away from Baberton, especially with Dominic. After everything that had happened with her father and Abi and herself, the last place she wanted to be on the holidays was there to be honest. She still wasn’t too sure how she wanted to handle the whole situation or how to feel but she didn’t want to think about that right now. She woke up and rolled over, finding Dom missing, but she figured he was just up and about so she slowly dragged herself up out of bed with a tired sigh, stretching. She moved through, raking her fingers through her hair, and spotted him, a smile appearing on her lips as she walked over. “Hey, you..” She wrapped her arms loosely round his neck from behind, kissing the side of his head. “What are you up to?”

Becky brightened at the idea, nodding almost right away. “Yeah!” She said, squeezing his hand in excitement. “We totally should, that sounds awesome.” She would have to let Jonas know but she was sure he wouldn’t mind and it’s not like she had to play the in-the-middle daughter this year. “I love the sound of that.”

Becky bit her lip, quiet for a moment. “Well… probably won’t be going to my parents…” After that ordeal. “I don’t know, I haven’t really thought about it. I’m sure I’ll see Jonas and Emily and stop in on Abi but other than that…” She shrugged.

Becky laughed lightly, leaning into him with a little shake of her head. “Well, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.”

“Yeah, I hate when it gets cold.” She sighed, looking up at the sky and knowing that it would be soon. “Water makes me feel so at peace.”

“Yeah… sorry.” She worked up a chuckle.

Emily smiled as she nodded, watching the two of them with a chuckle. “I’ll bet.”

Danielle smiled a little, realising that he couldn’t actually see her. “Yeah, uh… I can be a bit light on my feet.” She chuckled.

“That can be a very good thing.” He smiled brightly and shrugged slightly, “--except when a blind guy walks up and doesn’t hear you.” 

Becky smiled brightly, leaning into him as he kissed her cheek. She felt much better with him around, she’d been on her way to a bad morning. “Careful, you might never get rid of me if you say things like that.” She teased.

Emily chuckled, watching him as she bobbed around gently. “That dog is the cutest.” 

Dom laughed a bit and nodded. “He is pretty fantastic and he is a great set of eyes.”
