Whats this? An update? Oui oui, I'm in a good mood =]

Ernst stood ashamed in his living room, glumly listening as Hanschen's father talked to his. He thought back to the moment things had gone wrong.
When the Rilows had found the boys by the stream, Herr Rilow had marched up and ordered Hanschen away, leaving Ernst to sit helplessly in the grass and watch them leave. Then, this evening, Herr Rilow had come round with Hanschen and told Ernst's father what he had seen. Ernst had been summoned downstairs and was now standing in the living room, opposite Hanschen as their parents spoke.
'Herr Robel, you would do me wrong to believe that I am insinuating that this is your boys fault, but I do believe drastic measures need to be taken on both of our parts.'
'Of course, of course. Pardon me for asking, Herr Rilow, but do you not have a house up in Weimar?'
'Yes we do. We had considered selling it to come back here, but under the circumstances I think it would be best to return. It would seem unspeakable things happen when our sons are in close proximity. Although the distance evidently isn't enough to stop the boys from being... together, it looks like the only option is for us to move back to Weimar and keep them under constant supervision.'
'I don't believe there is much else we can do.' Herr Robel agreed.
'Now if you do excuse us, I must get home and think of a suitable punishment for my son.'
'Of course. Give Erin my regards.'
'Farewell, Herr Robel... Ernst.' Herr Rilow strode out of the room, followed by Hanschen, who bumped into Ernst's shoulder as he exited.
Tears threatened as Ernst felt the impact but his eyes widened as he felt Hanschen push a note into his hand. He quickly, inconspicuously shoved it into his pocket, his heart fluttering at what Hanschen might have had to say.
'Ernst!' his father boomed as the front door closed. 'Up to your room. Now.'
Ernst might have appeared a bit too eager to disappear but he ran out of the room and straight upstairs. He locked his door and went to his desk immediately, sitting down and taking the note out. Smoothing the note against the desk, he began to read.
Ernst, run away with me
Midnight, Vineyard.
I love you x
