I woke up alone in bed. I bit my lower lip in dismay that Gerrard already left early to work. Forcing myself, sat down and leaned my back against the headboard.

The bedroom door opened and Miss. Malia came in, holding a breakfast tray.

"Good morning, Sophia, I'm glad you're awake."

"Where's Gerrard?"

"Ah... master Gerrard just left," she replied, "he ordered breakfast for you." She put the tray at the side table near me. There were Croissant, waffles, ham and eggs, assorted berries, and coffee.

I noticed a single pink rose lying on top of a note. I picked it up and read the note. See you at dinner....
