"Downstairs. I told him I get you first."
I squeal with delight and hug her again. "Let me brush my teeth and get dressed."
"Sure, you have a grey eye pencil?"
"Yeah." I point to the makeup box on the top of my vanity. "Don't you have enough?"
"There's no enough when it comes to eyeliner."
"You haven't seen my prom pictures."
"You're right. I haven't." She moves to the vanity and takes a seat. "You have them handy?"
"In a minute." I head to the bathroom and go through my usual routine.
I can hear Mal and Ethan laughing downstairs. I should say hi to my brother, but I want to talk to Violet first.
I head back to my room, quickly change into a sundress, and grab my phone to get a prom picture off Facebook.
I have a text from Kit.
Kit: Hey. How you feeling today?
Violet is busy fixing her makeup. She looks very much where she belongs at my ornate vanity.
It's safe to text back.
Piper: Exhausted but good.
Kit: You and Mal good?
Piper: Yeah. Why are you up this early?
Kit: At the gym.
Piper: No wonder you're as hot as you are.
Kit: You alone?
Piper: No. With Violet. She and Ethan just got home.
Kit: Good. Hang out with Violet. I know you adore her.
Piper: I don't adore her.
> Kit: You do. It's cute. Have fun. I'll call you tonight.
Piper: Will it be a sexy call?
Kit: If you want.
Piper: Really?
Kit: Yeah, but I'd rather have you in person.
Piper: Oh.
Kit: Oh?
