She was jarred from the moment by an urgent knock on the door. Her companion stirred, and Maggie hurried to the door, not wanting the knocking to further wake her.
"Jamie," she said when she saw her friend standing on the other side.
Jamie wasted no time. "Maggie, where is Cerise?"
She kept the door slightly ajar, careful not to let Jamie catch a glimpse of the half-naked state Cerise was in. "She’s here. What’s wrong?"
"The Bonnets are coming back today, they cut their trip short. They should arrive around noon. I don’t think they’ll be too happy to find their only child missing, least of all spending time with you, doing unspeakable things."
"Ah, the evil parents are back," Maggie said with disdain.
She wanted to argue that Cerise was a woman of twenty-four and could do whatever she wanted, but she knew it was to no avail. Besides, she didn’t want to get Cerise, and especially Jamie, into trouble. He was good enough to help them out; she didn’t want him to lose his job as the Bonnet’s gardener because of them.
"Stay here. I’ll get her," she mumbled and closed the door.
She slid into the bed, shaking Cerise gently by her shoulders, "Cerise, wake up."
Cerise roused, sleepily she smiled, "Morning."
"Morning. I hate to do this, but you have to leave now. Your folks are coming back a day early."
Instantly awakened, Cerise sat bolt upright, "Oh my God, are they already at the house?"
Maggie swept Cerise’s unruly curls from her face, "No, don’t worry. You still have a few more hours."
"Oh, thank goodness. Why are they coming back early?"
"I don’t know," Maggie shrugged. "Jamie is outside, waiting."
"I hate this." Cerise hopped out of the bed, dashing around to get dress and gather her things.
After a few moments of silence, Maggie spoke. "Then stay, to hell with them."
Cerise grunted as she slipped on her blouse, "That’s easy for you to say; you don’t have a family to fuss over you…" She gasped, horrified at the slip of her tongue, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that."
Maggie smiled, tinged with sadness, "It’s all right. You spoke the truth; I don’t have a family, not anymore."
Cerise, now frowning with guilt bent on her knees and grasped her lover’s hands. "Maggie, I really am sorry. I didn’t mean to–"
Maggie cut her off by pressing a finger against her lips, "It’s fine. I don’t want you to tiptoe around me; I have enough people who did that. It’s one of the reasons why I came here."
Cerise responded by placing a chaste kiss on Maggie’s mouth. "As long as you’re all right. Now, I have to go. I’ll let Jamie know when I can sneak out."
Maggie followed her to the door and said, "Thanks, Jamie, for alerting us."
Jamie gave a playful and light smack on her shoulder, "No problem, anything to get you out of trouble."
After they left, Maggie busied herself with tidying up the flat, knowing David would not be happy with the mess. She hummed tunelessly as she worked. Not that long afterwards, another knock came.
"Who could that be?" she wondered aloud. The only two people who came to the flat were Cerise and Jamie.
Turning the knob, she was surprised to see a familiar face that she had not seen for over a year looking back at her. "Anna…"
