Friday was finally here and Chloé couldn't be happier. She had been waiting for this moment forever, or at least since she got back from New York and had to live in her father's hotel. She was finally able to move out and move into Adrien's place. She knew everything would be amazing from now on.

Her bags were packed, and her father had allowed her to borrow his personal driver to get from the hotel to Adrien's place and that was something she was very thankful for. She wasn't sure how else she would get her things there unless she asked someone for help. But she didn't want to bother Adrien with that and she couldn't ask Zoé either, so she didn't decline her father's offer to lend his driver to her for the day.

The only thing she had to do now was to go down to the private dining room and eat breakfast with her father and stepmother before she left. She was excited for moving, but she could push that forward for some time to have a lovely moment with her father before she left.

She took on her purse and opened it for Pollen to get inside. Chloé opening her purse was something that Pollen always seemed very thankful for each time she did it.

"Are you looking forward to move?" Pollen asked.

"Yes. I think this will be amazing. I can't wait." Chloé said and smiled at the kwami in her purse.

"I think it will too." Pollen said and smiled back.

Chloé then closed her purse and left her room.

Her bags had already been taken from her room and was probably being loaded inside the car at the very moment. She had only stayed behind in her room to get one last view of Paris from her balcony before she had to get used to a whole new view of Paris in her new place.

She had to admit that she would miss her room, the view and the hotel even if she stayed in the same city. It was just something extra special with the things connected with the hotel. This was where she had grown up, a place that had always been there and now she was going to another place and start a new part of her life somewhere else.

It was exciting, but also a bit depressing if she had to be honest. She knew it would still be there and she would visit a couple of times as well in the future. But the moment she closed the door behind her, that room that had been hers for her whole life, stopped being hers.

She walked through the corridor after closing the door and stopped in front of the elevator. The doors opened after a few seconds and when she got inside she accidentally pressed the wrong button. Instead of going down to the first floor, she ended up on the second floor instead.

Even if she could press the button again to get down one more floor, she decided not to do that. She left the elevator and took the stairs instead. She wanted to belive that it was because she wanted some exercise, but she knew very well why she took the longer option instead. She wasn't in a hurry to get to the dining room and eat breakfast with her father and step mother. She wanted to stay at the hotel for as long as possible, because she wasn't sure when she would come back next time.

When she got down to the first floor, she walked toward the kitchen and walked through it to get to the dining room. But before she opened the doors she stopped and braced herself in case her mother would be there like the last time she had planned to eat in the dining room with her father.

She opened the doors and looked inside for a moment to make sure that there were only two people inside the room and finally entered when she got it confirmed. Both of them turned around when she walked up to her regular place by the table and sat down before anyone had said a word.

"Good morning." Louise said and smiled at Chloé.

"Morning." Chloé said and turned to her father who looked as if he was on the edge of crying. "Did something happen?"

"No." her father quickly answered. "It's a big day for you."

"Yeah." Chloé said and thought a little about it. "I guess it is."

Even though she left for New York, she hadn't really moved out from the hotel. She was always meant to go back sometime, and everyone but her mother seemed to know that. But this was different. Her room was empty, and all her things were going to a new place, a new home. It really was a big day, that much she had to admit.

"I'm going to miss you so much. It's not going to be the same without you here." André said and couldn't help but shed a tear while he was talking.

Louise gave André a caring pat on his shoulder.

"We are both going to miss you." Louise said and gave Chloé a kind look that Chloé's own mother never had directed at her once during her lifetime.

Chloé was left speechless by the kindness in Louise look and decided to start eating her breakfast to avoid talking anymore. It didn't feel weird to know that Louise cared about her, but Chloé couldn't help but feel disappointed that her mother had never showed any kind of love toward her during her lifetime.

Her father and stepmother started eating as well and even if they didn't say much to each other it was just enough to know that they all were there and getting along. It was so much better than the last dinner she had in that very same dining room. The only thing that made her a little upset was knowing it was the last meal she had before she left to move in at Adrien's place.

"Chloé, this is still your home even if you no longer lives here." her father said and ended the comfortable silence inside the dining room.

He must have noticed that Chloé was starting to look sad after her thoughts and had wanted to cheer her up. His words was enough to make her go from feeling upset to smiling, it was exactly what she needed to hear at that very moment.

"Thank you, dad." Chloé said and smiled at her father.

The rest of the breakfast went by smoothly. They did talk a little with each other and Louise was asking the typical questions any mother would ask her daughter when she was about to move out. It made Chloé happy to know that Louise was there for her as a mother should even if she didn't have to. If Louise truly wanted, she could have been like the evil stepmothers in all the stories Chloé grew up with, but she wasn't and Chloé would forever be thankful for that.

When the breakfast was over Louise quickly got up from her seat and excused herself. She gave Chloé a quick hug before she left the dining room and left Chloé alone with her father in there.

When André stood up Chloé turned to him and smiled.

"I guess you are ready to leave?" her father asked.

Chloé nodded.

She was ready to leave even if she knew she would miss the hotel, her room and her father. But as he had told her earlier, this would still be her home no matter what. It wouldn't be the same when she came back later sometime. But at some point she had to let it all go and move on to another part of her life and that was exactly what she was about to do.

"Let me walk with you to the lobby." her father said and made a gesture for them to start walking.

They left the dining room and walked through the kitchen where the workers quickly moved out of their way to let the two of them pass. When they reached the doors and walked out from the kitchen, they turned toward the lobby and walked the last bit in silence.

For Chloé it almost felt as if she was walking toward her doom and not toward the beginning of the next chapter in her life. She wasn't sure what it was that made it feel like that. Was it anxiety or was it some sort of inner voice warning her that she shouldn't leave?

When they reached the exit Chloé and her father stopped.

"I want to tell you again even if I'm sure you will remember it, this will always be your home." her father told her.

"Thank you dad, for everything." Chloé said.

Her father smiled before her reached out and hugged her. It wasn't a long hug, but it was enough for Chloé to drop all of her worries about leaving.

"Call me when you have time. I want to know everything about your new home." her father said when he let go of her.

"I will." Chloé said.

They exchanged one last smile before Chloé turned toward the exit and left the hotel. It didn't feel any different to all the other times she had left before, and that made her smile stay on her lips the whole ride from the hotel to the apartment building Adrien's penthouse were at.

When the car stopped in front of the building Chloé exited it and the driver did the same. He walked up to the back of the car and opened the trunk before he took out all of her bags and left them on the ground before he slammed the trunk shut.

"Do you want me to carry your bags?" the driver asked.

Chloé shook her head and looked down on her bags. They weren't heavy, so she knew it wouldn't be that big of a deal for her to carry them herself.

"Thank you for the ride." Chloé said when she looked up at the driver.

"Anything for the mayor and his daughter." the driver said before he got inside the car again and drove away.

Chloé took her bags and walked up to the entrance. She stood there for a moment before she remembered the password Adrien had used to let them in the last time she had been there. She pressed the buttons seven eight four five before she reached for the door handle and opened the door.

She walked up to the elevator and when she entered it she looked for the button to the penthouse. But wherever she looked she couldn't find it. When she had been there for at least five minutes she decided to give Adrien a call and ask him about it, because she knew that it was the same elevator they had used to get up to the penthouse.

"Hi Chloé! Are you on your way?" Adrien wondered and sounded as if he was smiling, which made Chloé smile herself.

"I am actually in the elevator..." Chloé said.

"Oh? So you are here already?" Adrien asked.

"Is there something wrong?" Chloé wondered when she no longer heard the smile in his voice.

"No, not at all." Adrien quickly said.

"Okay. I was wondering how I get up to the penthouse. There's no button in the elevator." Chloé said.

"I'm so sorry! I forgot to tell you about it." Adrien said and sounded as if he had forgot to tell her about something more serious that what she was asking about.

"It's fine, you don't have to wor-"

"No, it's not fine!" Adrien shouted. "It's just like what my father always says. I'm useless. I can't do anything right even when I try to do the right thing. He let me get it back, and I messed up. I thought I would fix everything. That I would be able to talk to her and make her understand why I need her mir-"

"Adrien?" Chloé interrupted him.

"What?" he asked in a voice that made it seem as if he was on the edge of crying.

"How do I get up to the penthouse?" Chloé wondered.

"Press on the button with a P on and then use the same password you used to get into the building. Then press zero." Adrien quickly explained.

Chloé pressed each button and ended it with pressing on the button with a zero on. The elevators doors closed and it started moving up, something that made Chloé breath out and relaxed knowing she would soon reach the penthouse and hopefully Adrien. She took up her phone again and pressed it toward her ear.

"It worked. I'm soon there." she said.

"Good." Adrien said after a few seconds of silence and ended the call.

The moment the elevator stopped and the doors opened Chloé walked inside the penthouse and dropped her bags on the floor. She looked around to see if Adrien where somewhere close, but when she didn't see him she started moving.

"Adrien?" Chloé shouted through the penthouse as she moved.

She walked past a room that looked more like a small cinema than a livingroom and noticed that Adrien was sitting in one of the chairs, staring at the black screen in front of him.

"Adrien?" Chloé said and stepped inside.

He dried the tears that were streaming down from his eyes before he slowly turned toward her and forced a smile.

"Oh, hi Chloé." Adrien said with a hoarse voice.

Chloé didn't say anything as she stepped farther into the room. She sat down in the chair next to Adrien and looked at him, trying to understand why he was crying when he didn't say anything to her. When she couldn't find an answer by just looking she decided to ask instead.

"Did something happen?" Chloé wondered.

Adrien shook his head and looked as if he wanted to switch their conversation to something else. But when he noticed Chloé's hard and demanding glare at him, he turned toward the black screen and reached for a remote. He clicked on one button and a too familiar movie started playing on the screen.

"Solitude?" Chloé said and looked toward Adrien.

"I have been watching it all night." Adrien explained.

Chloé nodded even if Adrien was looking at the black and white screen which showed his mother walking by the Seine with an umbrella.

"It's been so many years since she disappeared." Adrien said.

"I know, Adrien. I'm so sorry." Chloé said and turned to the screen.

They were watching the movie in silence for a few minutes. Whenever Chloé noticed that Adrien was starting to cry she would reach out and hold his hand and comfort him the best she could. It wasn't enough, though, she knew that much. But she tried her best to let him know he wasn't all alone even if Emilie wasn't there with him at the moment.

"I always admired you mother. She was so pretty and kind." Chloé said and smiled at Adrien.

"Really?" Adrien asked without looking away from the screen.

"Yeah. I envy you for having her as your mother." Chloé said and laughed a little which made Adrien smile a tiny smile that almost was impossible to notice, but at least she could see it.

The two of them sat there in mostly silence with a few short conversations that only interrupted short parts of the movie. When the end credits rolled and the screen went black Adrien turned to Chloé and gave her a sad smile.

"I want her to come back." he told her.

Chloé reached out to Adrien's hand and held onto it for a while.

"I know." she said and gave him a sad look.

When his green eyes turned back to the black screen Chloé let go of his hand.

"You said something earlier. When we were talking on the phone." Chloé said and noticed that Adrien gave her a sideglance which was enough for her to know he listened to what she said. "You were going to say something before I cut you off. What did you want to tell me?"

"Oh." Adrien said and turned to Chloé. "That was nothing."

"Are you sure?" she wondered.

"Yeah. I was just mumbling. I can't even remember what I said."

Chloé could remember what he said, but she didn't want to push him. She could see he was still upset, and the last thing she wanted was to cause him any more pain.

"I brought my things." Chloé said.

"All of it?" Adrien wondered.

"Most of it. The room's got furnitures, right?" Chloé asked.

Adrien chuckled.

"Yeah. It's all set." he said and gave Chloé a smile that wasn't forced this time.

"Do you want to pack up and make yourself at home?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah, if you don't need me to stay here?" Chloé wondered.

"No. I think I will manage." Adrien quickly told her and took up his phone to check the time. "I actually have to get going soon."

"Are you sure? You look tired." Chloé said and couldn't hide her worry.

"I'm fine. I only work for a couple of hours today. I was thinking that we could go out and get some dinner later this day?" Adrien wondered.

Chloé opened her mouth to accept his offer only to realise that she already had plans for the evening.

"I can't today." she said and noticed the disappointment in Adrien, something he quickly hid. "Maybe tomorrow?"

"That sounds even better." Adrien said and smiled before he stood up from his chair.

Chloé stood up and gave Adrien a quick hug, which seemed to surprise him.

"I didn't think you liked hugs." he said after a few seconds.

Chloé gave Adrien a quick smile instead of giving him an answer before she left the room to get her bags where she had left them by the elevator. When she held all of them, she turned around and walked back to the cinema room only to notice that Adrien wasn't there anymore.

Instead of looking for him when she knew he had to leave soon, she decided to go to her room and start unpacking. There where still a lot of hours before she had to go and meet Viperion for their patrol that evening. She was really looking forward to go out on her first patrol since she got her Miraculous back and knowing she would spend the evening together with Viperion made her heart beat extra fast in her chest, something it had never done before any other time she had been about to go out on a patrol.
