"Clare, you have to wake up." Clare heard as she was shaken awake.
Clare opened her eyes and turned to see Eli smirking at her.
"What happened?" Clare looked around and wondered why she was still in Morty.
"You fell asleep." Eli whispered.
"Really?" Eli nodded. Clare stretched her arms out and yawned. "Thanks for not making me sleep out in the car." Clare joked, and laughed. Eli chuckled.
"Well, if I did I'd have to tell the police why there's a girl sleeping in my hearse." they both broke into laughter.
"I'd love to hear you answer to that."
"Well, sir. That girl is obviously obsessed with me and is stalking me." Clare softly punched Eli's shoulder.
"He would never believe that."
"Or she." Eli laughed.
"I can't remember the last time I laughed like this." Clare said and giggled a little. Eli's face grew serious.
"Your old boyfriend never made you laugh?"
"Not really."
"Did he do anything to make you happy?"
"Now, looking back at it, no."
"Well, then I plan to make this the best time of life. Whether it goes on for years or ends tomorrow. I will serve you hand and foot and show you what it's like to be happy."
"Thanks, Eli."
"So, let's go in and sleep. Then tomorrow we can do whatever you want!"
Clare smiled and got out of the car. She followed Eli to the front door and watched him unlock it. He walked in and made it to the middle of the room, before turning to see Clare standing outside. He walked back.
"Clare, what's wrong?"
"I was just wondering. If I told you a secret would you keep it?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"It's nothing, I was just wondering." Clare walked in and passed Eli to go to her room.

Clare walked downstairs after actually getting ready. She thought that since she had a chance with Eli that she should make herself look presentable. Clare walked into the kitchen smiling, till she saw that Eli was not there. He wasn't in the living room so she went back down the hall and up to Eli's room. When she knocked there was no answer so she went in.
She saw a long body under a thick black comforter. Up higher, was a muscular arm and then a head full of shiny, dark hair on the pillow. Clare walked up slowly and quietly. She leaned forward and saw Eli's sleeping face. Clare smiled at how Eli frowned a little in his sleep. She wondered if he was having a dream.
Her eyes landed on his long hair. She reached her hand out to it, but pulled it back. She turned around and held her hand with by the wrist with the other hand.
"What am I doing?" she asked herself. "I can't just run my hands through his hair while he sleeps. But it looks so silky. No. I won't do it. Why am I asking myself questions? What am I doing?"
"I was wondering the same thing." a voice from behind Clare said. Clare turned to see Eli with a raised eyebrow, looking at her with curiosity.
"I was just leaving."
"Didn't look like that to me."
"I don't care what it looked like to you." Clare stuck her tongue out and left.

"I am such an idiot!" Clare yelled at herself. "What was I thinking talking to myself about running my hands through his hair, while he's right behind me sleeping? This has to be the stupidest thing I've ever done."
"I've seen people do stupider things." that voice again. Clare turned in frustration and looked at Eli waiting for him to say something. "Are you going to deny talking to yourself again?" Eli laughed.
Clare turned away angrily and leaned up against the counter.
"I am such an idiot." Clare muttered, but Eli heard.
"No, you're not." Eli walked over to Clare. "Everyone talks to themselves. It's normal." Clare moved away.
Eli knew she was embarrassed and didn't want to be close to him, so he stayed where he was. Eli pursed his lips in thought.
"Do you want to run our hand through my hair?" Eli asked. Clare looked at him shocked.
"Why would I?"
"I heard you, Clare. If you want to it's okay."
"No, I'm good."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, can we just forget about this?"
"Sure. What do you want to do today?"
"Hmm, I've got an idea."
Help me out! I don't know what Clare wants to do and I need your help. Give me something! Please!
