He was probably the only one who still called her by her full name but she couldn't deny that she loved hearing it.
Her eyes fluttered open and she let her eyes adjust to the brightness. The early morning light was filtering inside her bedroom through the closed curtains that fluttered with the morning breeze.
"Thank you, Nick." She responded in a soft tone as turned her attention to her brother who was sitting beside her on the bed while his fingers brushed through the tangled mess of her hair.
"You should get ready and come downstairs, the others are waiting for you." He told her before planting a soft kiss on her forehead and leaving the bedroom.
