Chapter 9. Lewis trys to make it up to Franny.

Lewis walked into the gift shop, and looked around.

A woman sat behind the desk, she smiled at him.

"Hello there!" She said cheerfuly. "Buying something for someone special?"

Lewis nodded. "Do you have any frogs?"

"Um...No," the woman said, confused. "But you might have better luck at the pet store."

"I mean, stuffed frogs, things frog related." Lewis corrected him.

"Let me check in the back." The woman said, she got up and left, Lewis walked over and picked out a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate.

Lewis knocked on Frannys apartment door, holding the stuffed frog, box of chocolates and flowers.

Frannys mother opened the door, and smiled at him.

"How sweet, Cornelius! You are so thoughtfull." She patted him on the head, and lead him into the house.

She took him down the hall to Frannys room and knocked.

"Franny, you have a visitor!"

"Who?" Came Frannys voice.

"Cornelius, dear."

No answer.

"Franny?"

"I don't want to talk to him." Frannys voice came back.

"Open the door right now!" Frannys mother commanded.

A lock clicked and Franny opened the door. She saw the stuffed frog, flowers and chocolate and smiled. "Cornelius!" She whispered.

"Here Franny," Lewis said, handing the gifts over. "I, just wanted to say I'm sorry if I hurt you and I didn't mean any of it."

Franny sniffed the flowers, and looked at Lewis. "Thank you."

Lewis smiled as she smiled back.

"I'll leave you two alone," Frannys mother told them, then walked away.

Lewis walked into Frannys room, which was painted green. It scared him, just a little. Frankie the frog croaked in his tank, which had music notes painted on it.

He sat on her bed and she placed the frog plush on her desk, and put the flowers and chocolate on her dresser.

She sat next to him on the bed.

"Janice kissed me, not the other way around." Lewis told her. "Well, attacked me, actually."

Franny laughed. "I hate her."

Lewis was shocked. "Geez, Franny!"

Franny smiled at him. "Don't worry, I forgive you." She pecked him on the cheek, Lewis began blushing until his face was bright red.

Both sat there in silence, letting it all sink in.
