"Because you scared me." Dawn answers, Lorcan smiles and let her lay beside her. "It's the middle of the night, why are you awake?" Lorcan asked her sister as she sits on her legs. "I'm too excited, Lorcan." Dawn answers as Lorcan smiles. "Well it is your birthday, but we're not celebrating it yet." Lorcan said to her sister while smiling and hold her hand. "Come on.

Why do I have to be home by midnight?" Max asked his older sister. "Because I wanna know that you're safe, Max. I'm worried about you. Plus, you're starting high school in six months." Lorcan answers about her worrying about him. "Just, please don't tell Mom and Dad, okay? I just can't handle another one of his lectures." Max said to Lorcan about not telling their parents.
