Tom pulled up to Andy's house very early the following day. He parked the car and stretched, glancing at the clock on the dashboard. It was just past 8 AM, but he didn't mind. He was eager to see Lucy.
As Tom walked up to the front door, he could hear chatter and laughter from inside. It made him smile, and he imagined the aftermath of the girls' night in. He reached the door and rang the doorbell.
Andy opened the door, her hair still in disarray from sleep, her face free of any makeup. She blinked in surprise, taking in Tom's presence on her doorstep.
"Tom?" she exclaimed, her voice still thick with sleep. "You're here so early!"
Tom grinned, leaning casually against the doorframe. "It was a girls' night out, right? Well, it's morning now, so it's my turn to be with my Jewel before she heads off to the bridal shower again."
Andy chuckled, opening the door wider to let him in. "Come on in. The others are still lazing about in the living room."
