55 55 Morning Check Up (1/2)
Gabriel nodded to Subaru and then walked towards the door. ”Mari if you do not mind could you take us to the inn. It would be a good idea to call it a night now.”
”Yes, of course. Please follow me.” Mari smiled and started to lead them to the inn. ”I am sorry but two of you will need to share a room. I only have two rooms available for the night.” Mari opened the sliding door for the first room where she had two sets of bedding pulled out.
”I'll stay here with Kosuke. You do not need to get up at the same hour as we do Gabriel. So please take the other room.” Edward bowed his head.
”Yes, I agree with Edward. I do not mind sharing a room with him. I am even willing to stay in our carriage but since Edward is okay with me here I will stay.” Kosuke bowed his head and looked at Gabriel when he was done.
”That is okay with me. Both of you please sleep well. I will see you tomorrow.” Gabriel smiled and walked away following Mari.
”This is the best room in the inn. I hope that you will enjoy your stay and thank you again for saving Tomomi. Originally I was going to have you all stay in the same room but you saved my daughter and I can not do that to you.” Mari opened the door and bowed to Gabriel.
”It was something that I would do again in a heartbeat. She is a young girl with her whole future ahead of her. Thank you for bringing me here. Go home and rest up and I will see you in the morning.” Gabriel closed the sliding door and opened the door to the backyard. The area was fenced and there was a hot spring in the ground. Gabriel walked towards it and tested the water. Before getting out of his clothes and climbing in. 'This is amazing. I hope that Amelia is resting well.'
Miyuki checked on Amelia before going to sleep. She left the door slightly open and went back to her room.
Amelia opened her eyes and picked up her bedding and moved it to the doorway. She stared up at the stars and let the sleep take her back under. 'Gabriel.'
After a soak in the hot springs, Gabriel got out and dried himself off and laid down on the bedding. He passed out thinking about Amelia.
Miyuki went to check on Amelia in the morning and found her room empty. ”Amelia?”
Amelia had changed her clothes and was sitting under the sakura tree. She looked up and watched as the sun started to rise. She heard her name and got up and walked back to her room and opened the door. ”Good morning, Miyuki.”
