@xamassed asked: "It's nearly two in the morning, what are you doing up?" ( gavin c: )
He’d given her an estimate for how long this latest mission would take, and she knew he would do his best to keep it within the timeframe. If not because he was committed to his job, because he didn’t want to worry her. So when the day of his return came around, she waited for him. And as the hours kept on ticking by, she came up with a disguise.
Gavin wouldn’t have come to visit properly once it’d gotten too late, but he would definitely stop by to check in on her, so she brought her keyboard to bed with her to play around writing songs while she waited. Feeling a strong wind blowing from the one open window in her room had a smile tipping her lips, and she took out the headphones just in time to hear his worried voice.
“I suddenly got hit with inspiration...” She told him with an apologetic smile, both for staying up late and for the little white lie. “Lost track of time.” Alice made her way to the window and reached out to him, beckoning him inside. “Welcome back, baby.”
