“For all of us. I thought it would be fun for the four of us to do something normal. You’re doing that thing again.” She held up her hand, and I wrapped my fingers around it.

“What thing?” I asked.

“Thinking too hard.”

“I don’t think too hard.”

“You absolutely do.” She smiled.

“Is this your way of ending the conversation?” I rolled her onto her back and hovered over her.

“Yes, actually, it is,” she said.

“Well, it’s not going to work.” Her arms wrapped around my neck. “Tomorrow morning. Ten o’clock.”

“I know. I heard you.” I stared into her beautiful eyes.

“You have to be ready, Simon. And don’t wear a suit.”

“I wasn’t planning to wear a suit to a pumpkin field.”

“Good. You need to be very casual. Maybe jeans and a sweater.”

“Would you like to dress me?” I smirked.

“I might have to.” She grinned.

“Well, good luck with that.”

She brought her hand up and ran her fingers through my hair.

“You’re going to have fun tomorrow.” She smiled.

“Debatable.” I kissed her forehead and rolled onto my back, pulling her against me.

“You make it stop,” he groaned as his arm tightened around my waist.

“It’s your alarm!”

“You’re closer.”

“I’m literally on the opposite side of you, Simon.”

“Then climb over me.”

I looked up at him, and his eyes were still closed. I softly laughed as he finally reached over and turned it off.

“Fall festival!” I quickly sat up. “Come on. We have to get up and get ready.”

Simon let out a louder groan. “No, we don’t.”
