By the time they arrived in Peach Wood Subdivision, it was almost seven in the evening and knowing that they'd be coming home, Jonas and Kyle prepared lots of food for dinner.

  Luiz jumped out of the car happily and ran towards the house to meet his bother and father. Cayenne watched her brother happily with warm emotions in her eyes.

  "Welcome back." Kyle gave Luiz a brotherly hug and patted his back. "Did you have fun?"

  "Yup! It was so much fun and lot of beautiful things happened."

  "Oh! That must have included that you got yourself a girl." He teased his younger brother which made Luiz elbowed him lightly. "Am I wrong?"

  "Hn. You are very wrong. She's not my girlfriend yet and we promised that we'd focus on our studies first."

  "I see. Then, I'll stop teasing you for now." Kyle nodded his head with his hand on her chin. Luiz wanted to say something but his brother already walked past him to meet Cayenne and Stefan. "Sis, welcome home. Welcome home, brother-in-law." He also greeted Stefan with slight nod.

  "Hn. We're home safe." Stefan stated while pulling their luggage behind him. "Luiz, can you check on your classmates if they're all home safely? Specially Dominic."

  "Sure. I'll check on them now." Luiz put down his back pack to get his phone. "By the way, can we stay over here tonight? It's already night time and it will be tiresome for Erwin to come at get us at this time. It will be another long travel time for me, too."

  "Go ahead. You can use the guest room anytime you want." Stefan answered him.

  Cayenne was still very tired even though she just slept all the way home. She sat on the couch and leaned her head to the soft material. "I still want to sleep."

  "Dinner's ready. You can go to sleep after eating." Jonas commented when he came out of the kitchen.

  "Good evening, Pa. We're all home." Cayenne said with a sleepy face and tired expression. Even so, there was a smile on her lips upon seeing her stepdad.

  "I'm glad to see that you're all back. Go and take a shower now so that we can all have dinner and rest the night away after."

  "Okay." Cayenne stood up once again and walked upstairs with Stefan. He wanted to take out their clothes first and arrange their things but Cayenne was already pulling him to the bathroom. "Bath me. I'm tired."

  "Sorry honey for tiring you out." Stefan whispered while taking off her clothes one after another. "I wanted to make memories with you that much."

  "No worries. I enjoyed the trip as well and that's all thanks to you. I'm so happy and it tires me out a little."

  "Let's get plenty of rest tonight."

  Stefan helped her wash her body and washed her hair. She was just practically standing right under the shower head without moving an inch. After taking a shower with her, he put on their bathrobe and took her out to bed so that he can dry her hair. He was taking care of her while Cayenne sat there drowsily. Even a shower couldn't reenergize her at all.

  "I want to wear one of your shirts and large shorts. I don't want to wear anything silky tonight." She told him when he was choosing for their clothes to wear.

  "Right on it, hon." Stefan pulled out one of his shirts and put on her before taking one of her baggy shorts to pair with it. "Are you comfortable enough?"

  "Yes."

  Stefan looked for another to put on and after dressing up, the two went downstairs once again to eat dinner with the whole family. Her brothers and stepfather were already sitting at the table while chatting about the trip. On the table, there was box with a red ribbon tied around it.

  "Whose present is this?" Cayenne asked her brothers while pointing at the box.

  "Oh! That's yours." Luiz told his sister. "Everyone has gone home safely and Dominic haven't told his family yet. He was waiting for the two of you to give him the go signal.? At the same time, everyone was thinking how they can thank you for the trip and apparently, they had come up with this gift."

  Cayenne's eyes lit up when she heard it. She didn't expect that the students would think too much about what happened to the point that they prepared a gift for her and Stefan. She sat on her chair next to Stefan before taking the box. She pushed her plate for a moment to take time and open what was inside.

  The moment she looked at it, she blushed but she was happily looking at the items. There were two white coffee mugs with a picture printed on it. It was a photo of her and Stefan. One of the mugs had her name written on it while the other had Stefan's name written on it. At the bottom of the mugs, the words 'forever with you' were written as well.

  "This is wonderful. Stefan likes to have matching stuff at home so, this is really a good souvenir." Cayenne stated while placing the mugs bag. Under the small cartoon that held the mugs in place, there was a photo album. "Hn? What's this?" Cayenne questioned while taking the item.

  "That's what the girls have been working on this morning. One of them brought a polaroid camera and took several candid shots of you and brother-in-law. They kept them altogether and made an album for you."

  "Tell your classmates our thanks. I like the gifts very much." Stefan commented when he saw the pictures of him and Cayenne. Of course, he likes it. He always wanted to be in the same frame as her but most of the time, he just like taking pictures of her. "Put them away first so that we can have dinner. Let's look at them again later."

  "Hn. I'd love to see the pictures again. Those students were very mindful. I didn't even know when they got the time to make them or bought these things."
