“So, this is the plan.” I looked at Ms. Julie and thought about the nights when I first started dating and wanted to go out. I had to detail my plans before she would let me go.
“Tessa and I are going straight to Blake’s room at the end of the day to rest, do homework and get ready for the party. There is enough room for security there as well. We will go to the party, stay until Midnight, and then security will bring both of us here to the castle and Tessa will stay the weekend.”
I took a deep breath in after that mouthful of words and waited. I could see the hesitation and the near refusal on her face. But, then something made her soften up.
“I always wanted you to have a good time when you went to college.” She took a deep breath in and let it out again. “Okay.”
I hugged her fiercely and then ran upstairs to call and tell Tessa the news and pack an overnight bag to leave in Blake’s dorm room.
