Tessa:

The next morning,

I wake up around 10, I turned over to look at my phone to see a text from Hardin saying good morning so I replied good morning to him too. We then texted a little bit more about his day till he had to go off to a meeting. I then got up and go downstairs to see Landon and Karen talking in the kitchen.

We said good morning to each other. Karen offered me pancakes for breakfast which she had just made so I obviously accepted her offer as theory looked so good. We were just talking when Florence came running into the kitchen shouting my name.

"Tessa!" she shouts and I turn round to see her, I crouched down and picked her up in my arms.

"Good morning Florence" I said to her

"Morning" she said with a giggle as she cuddled into me. We continued to talk till Karen had plated up breakfast and then we went into the dining area. Just as we started to eat Ken joined us, he greeted me and then sat down to eat with us.

After breakfast, I helped Karen clean up in the kitchen. Then I went upstairs to get changed But then I got a call from Hardin, he had a break from the meeting so wanted to see how I was doing. We had a small chat before he was called back into the meeting so we said our goodbyes and see you soons. I then continued to get changed into the dress I brought with me, do my make-up and hair then I joined Karen back into the kitchen as she was baking again. This woman really does love baking which I'm glad about as I love to bake as well so I'm glad we have this in common. We ended up making cupcakes and brownies which she gave me to take home for dessert for me and Hardin's meal tonight.

...

A little while after that I went outside to join Landon and Florence, she was playing around on her wooden playhouse set. It makes me sound like a child but it looked really fun. It had a swing, slide, monkey bars and a climbing stone bit to climb up to the shelter part of it. I would have loved to have something like this when I was her age. I pushed her on the swing and then helped her cross over the monkey bars. I then climbed up to the shelter area and sat there as she continued to pass me when going down the slide. Landon stood at the bottom as we talked.

"When does Hardin get home?" he asked me

"Not totally sure but should be in time for tea hopefully since I'm cooking for the two of us" I tell him

"You are cooking?" he asks

"Yeah I decided I would as a welcome home thing" I say back

"I'm sure that will be good"

"Yeah hopefully" I say back

"You have really missed him haven't you?" he asks me with a sympathetic look

"Yes, I know it's sad he has been gone for a couple of days but I do really miss him, it's the first time we have been away from each other for more than a few hours since we first meet"

"Well I find it sweet how much you two love each other, especially since it makes him less grumpy" he says and we both laugh.

...

A while later and we went back inside, I went off to play with Florence for a bit till Landon came in wondering if we wanted to watch a film before I left. Which we agreed to and we went down stairs and Florence chose 'Sing' for us to watch. We got some snacks and drinks to have whilst watching the movie.

After we finished the movie, I went upstairs to pack my bag for heading home. Florence decided she wanted to help me even though there wasn't much to pack. Once we finished packing my stuff we went downstairs and into the hallway.
