I sure do miss you. It doesn't help how much I look like you either. Well except for my eyes. I sure do miss those blue eyes....

"Belle? Hello? Earth to Belle." Hannah's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "How long are you going to stare at your reflection?"

"Sorry. I didn't realize I had zoned out." I answered her as I focused my eyes on her reflection in the mirror.

"Are you alright?" She asked, concern etched on her face.

"Yeah. I was thinking and I guess I ended up zoning out." Please, please, please don't ask what I was thinking about. I don't feel like lying to you this early.

"Okay. Well I finished unpacking. Do we still have time for a tour?" I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and turned the screen on. 5:00 P.M.

"Yeah. We don't have long but we can still show you some places. Let's go see if Elle and Elliot are done yet."

After walking a little ways down the hall I started hearing voices. Elle and Elliot must be talking. I'm surprised Elle hasn't tried to strangle him yet. Go Elle!

We walked into Elliot's room to see Elle sending death glares at Elliot. Well I take back the strangling thing. "I'm just going to ignore the death glares Elle is sending to Elliot. Are you two done unpacking?" I asked them.

Their heads snapped my way and Elliot answered me, "Yeah, I guess." I'm so confused right now.

"We still have a little bit of time if you still want a tour." I said pushing my thoughts to the back of my mind.

"Sure. If it's not too much trouble." He said more like a question than a statement.

"It's no problem with me. Elle?"

"Me either." Elle forced out a little too hard and her jaw tensed. I'm so going to pick on you about this.

"Do you have any place in mind, Hannah?" I asked the oddly quiet Hannah.

"Nope." Well that's helpful.

"Elliot?" I asked turning towards him, his bright blue eyes locked with mine. Why do I have to be a sucker for blue eyes? Control yourself Belle, now is not the time.

"Not really. You and Elle can show us some of your favorite places." He suggested.

The look of comprehension immediately filled Elle's eyes. The Dock.

Whenever I want some time to think or when I just want to be alone and clear my head I always go to The Dock. It doesn't go out very far into the pond but there is usually no one on it so I always go there to sit and take in the silence. It's my favorite place to be and Elle knows that. I don't really know how she feels about it, but I don't think she particularly cares for it.

"So. Where are we going to go?" Hannah piped in.

"The Dock." It came out as merely a whisper but they still heard me. "It's my favorite place to be. You two may not like it, which is totally fine, but I still want to show it to you." I quickly added knowing that I had to explain myself.

Amusement. Of everything you could be, you are amused? I know for a fact I'm definitely not that amusing. I thought while staring at Elliot a little bit too much.

A small chuckle escaped him and he said, "You sure do ramble a lot."

My cheeks heated up and I knew I was blushing. And the mental nudging begins. I noted shifting my eyes to Elle.

"So. Shall we go while we still have time?" Hannah asked breaking the silence that had settled between us all.

Find your words Belle. Don't lose them. "Uh. Yeah let's go." I said thankfully not stuttering.

We started towards the door of Elliot's room and walked out towards the stairs. I heard muttered voices behind me and then foot steps that were gaining up to me. And suddenly a wild Elliot appeared next to me followed by the mental nudging by Elle. I'm never going to get a break, am I?

I was too caught up in my thoughts to realize I had reached the end of the stairs and tripped. I quickly gained my balance back before I fell on the ground. Thank goodness for previous years of gymnastics. Though I caught myself, it came to my realization that Elliot was standing next to me and I felt my cheeks turn bright red and hot. Great. Just great.

"Nice save." He said, a smile starting to grow on his face. This is torture.

"Thanks? I have come to master catching my falls." Nice words Belle.

"Do you fall often?" His smile was still slowly growing.

"I'm a bit of a klutz." My cheeks started to heat up again.

"Well if you two are done flirting I believe we were going somewhere." An all-too-happy Elle said. Great. She seen all of that. And I am not flirting!

"Right. To the dock we go!" I said.
