Chapter One

Sophie woke up to the sound of Fitz snoring soundly beside her.

What time is it? Sophie thought as she glanced at her VERY dark bedroom.

She could just barely see the silhouette of her nightstand and furniture, then noticed that she wasn't awoken by a nightmare. She was awoken by Fitz! The real live Fitz!

She glanced down and what do you know, Fitz was lying in bed next to her, sound asleep. She glanced at the time.

3:24 pm

What am I going to do? She thought to herself. Her thoughts turned panicky at the thought of Grady finding them in that state.

Suddenly Fitz woke up beside her and looked around. He seemed just as shocked as Sophie was when she first woke up seeing him next to her.

Sophie? Fitz transmitted to her, careful not to wake anyone else up. Sophie transmitted back with a typical,Yeah?

They both looked at each other wide-eyed and shocked as the events of the night came rushing back to them. As Fitz was just about to say something, a bleary eyed Edaline walked into the room, dressed in her standard work clothes.

"Sophie, honey? It's time to get up," she said in a slightly hushed voice.

As she was speaking, Edaline had clapped her hands to open up the blinds and started laughing and giggling like a teenage girl once she saw the pair.

Sophie was astounded. One, the sun was high in the sky signaling that she had been in bed for the first half of the day, and two, Fitz was next to her in the bed, still looking as confused and bewildered as she felt.

"You two are absolutely adorable," Grady chimed in from somewhere behind Edaline.

Sophie groaned at the same time Fitz let out a tremendous YAWWWWWNNNN! which made Edaline laugh even more.

After the laughter had subsided, Fitz seemed to remember where he was and shot up from the bed like the Neverseen was chasing after them again.

He looked up at Grady and Edaline standing beside the door and gave them his movie-star smile and started running his hand through his hair to make it spike out in waves, the way Sophie liked it.

As soon as Fitz and Sophie opened their mouth to try and explained what had happened the previous night, they were interrupted by Grady.

"No need to explain kiddos," he started, chuckling. "We were just coming to wake you up. We know you two are both tired from yesterday's Solstice celebration, and we know that you two are now engaged, but there is no need to come into Havenfield and crash into each other's arms into Sophie's bed."

Sophie mumbled to herself as she replayed last night's event down to the very last detail. But she never remembered coming back to Havenfield with Fitz and crashing into her bed. Especially with Fitz!

At least it wasn't Keefe. She thought to herself, since her adoptive father, Grady, absolutely HATED him. He had some harsh thoughts about "That Boy." But she still wasn't used to the fact that Fitz was now her fiancé.

"I brought you two some breakfast," Edaline said, interrupting Sophie's train of thought. "Or should I say late lunch?"

Sophie cursed herself for waking up so late and missing breakfast. She patted the spot next to her, and raised an eyebrow at Fitz.

"If you're not going to eat it, I'll eat it for you."

"Hey! You can't do that!"

But Sophie was already shoveling food into her mouth. Edaline and Grady shared a look as they left the couple to banter.
