(Evelyn's POV:)

I woke up and walked into the bathroom to change.

After I changed I woke Peter up.

"Peter," I said softly. He rubbed his eyes, waking up. "Hey, it's already 9:25." We had made a deal yesterday that whoever woke up first would wake the other up because we both wanted to go shopping before our flight back home to Queens.

"Oh crap, okay I'm up" I smiled and ran my hand through his messy hair, smoothing it down. I kissed him on the cheek and started packing my things.

It was smarter to pack before we went shopping so that we could stay out until the last minute shopping.

We almost forgot our suits. Almost. We packed them away safely in a secret compartment in our suitcases that Tony had custom-made for us.

We still had a lot of the money that Tony gave us leftover. And we planned to spend it all.
It's not like he'd miss it.

After we finished packing we went down to the shops.

We bought keychains and snow globes, all the tacky tourist stuff.

Peter filmed more for his Short Film, mostly us fooling around in stores, wearing funny hats and making silly faces. It was the most fun I've ever had. But, does that really mean anything coming from a 16-year-old girl who has been homeschooled her whole life?

We got back to the hotel room and filled all the empty spaces in our suitcases with the souvenirs.
While we were in Germany we took a bunch of photos together with a Polaroid camera I brought along. We had some in our suits (that we kept in the safe in case someone broke in, or something) and a few serious ones, other than that they were all funny faces and weird poses. Though none of them revealed our relationship.

I had a photo of Peter in my phone case so that no one will find it and he has one of me as well. Though I'm not sure where he ended up putting it.

We said our goodbyes at the hotel.

Happy drove us to the airport and put our luggage away for us. We sat down, apart from each other. Though, we could still see each other.

Happy came in and let the pilot know that we were ready to take off. Happy sat down and took a nap. During the flight, Peter and I texted each other.

When we landed we went back to our homes.

I opened the front door and walked in.

"Mom? Dad? I'm home!" I called out, setting down my keys, which already had my new keychain from Germany on it,  on the small table next to the door.

"Evelyn!" My mom shouted excitedly from upstairs. She came running down and hugged me tightly. "I'm so glad your home!"

"Me too," I said, hugging her back. "I missed you guys" I said, pulling back as my dad came downstairs and hugged me too.

After a while of reuniting and sharing stories, I went up to my room and started to unpack my things. I put all of the photos of Peter and me in the box in my closet, with the note he left me months ago.
