Will You Keep The Secret

"Sleep…. I need to sleep."

Getting to her feet she quickly cleaned up after letting him finish first before turning to him. "Come on I'll show you where you can get some rest," she lead him to one of the guest rooms.

He followed her quietly.

She stopped in the doorway. "There's a bathroom through there if you'd like to shower."

"No, I'm fine....."

She nodded. "Alright, I'll just uh give you some time alone. If you need anything at all I'll just be down the hall, okay?"

When her order was ready, he brought it over and he gave her a smile. "Enjoy."

"Thanks," She hummed, "Is that little girl yours?"

---

"Okay, okay thank you.. "

"You're welcome," she whispered softly backing out of the room and closing the door to give him some space and heading down the hall to her own room where she grabbed her cell and dialed Connor's number hoping he'd answer.

((We brought him back right? And Cassie too?))

(( Yeah ))

"Hello?" Connor answered after a few rings

"Hey Connor," Amanda greeted softly. "I got something to tell you. Well two somethings actually."

"And what's that?"

"Well Drake is back." She told him first waiting to see what he'd say before she said anything else.

"Yeah, she's my daughter Melody." He smiled, before he went back to clearin tables.

"Don't you have anywhere for her to stay whilst you work? Anything could happen..." Autumn whispered, almost silently.

---

"Oh? That's great."

"No, it's just me and her." He told her. "And she's too young for nursery."

"If you ever need a baby sitter I'd be happy to help, I'm starting my own business - have all of the police checks and certified. Cheap too."

He smiled. "Thank you, but I'd prefer to have her where I can see her."

"But you can't watch her constantly whilst your serving people, that's all I'm saying.   Need to be careful...."

"She's safe when I can see ger."

"Yes but here's the thing Con. He remembers nothing, not even his name and well...well he's human also..."

"Whatever," She muttered with a shake of her head. "I was just trying to help,"

----
"Oh..."

"I've showed him the photos I have and I've been trying to explain things to him..."

"I know and I appreciate it."

Autumn remained silent then, just quietly having a sip of her tea.

"Yeah.."
