Veronica and Liam returned to a quiet home since it was late. Edna had already left hours ago when they headed out to the party.
Liam turned on the lights while Veronica started to take off her jewellery. They spent more time with each other than at the party but it wasn't a night wasted for Veronica.
"I should get washed up and go to bed," Veronica said as they needed to part.
With separate rooms, she wouldn't see Liam until morning.
"You should," Liam replied, not happy to say goodbye so soon but he had to. "Remember, we need to leave by nine to get to your appointment on time."
"I will be ready by then. Goodnight Liam," Veronica bid him goodbye. She hoped to become comfortable enough to share a bed with him again but she wasn't there yet.
Veronica headed upstairs first to get washed up and into her bed.
