Samuel had to get up extra early the next morning so that he could make it to the jeweler and get back either before Lena left or wondered where he was after she woke up. Jeff had kindly agreed to be up early to take him and assured him if he texted him the moment that he woke up, the other would be sure to respond and be awake.
The sun was barely starting to come up but wasn't high enough to provide much light for Samuel who decided to rely on his phone light as he left his room rather than risking turning on too many lights and waking up the princess or anyone else by making too much noise.
