Curtains Close; Take a bow. I think we fooled all of them now.

Oli's POV

The sun was shining on my face through the open window. I could hear Rain singing to herself downstairs and the faint mumbles of Hanley drooling over her. I sat forward, feeling the lightness of my head return. I felt so much better, the medicine that the doctor prescribed really worked. The warm air and atmosphere hollered for me to finally go down stairs and steadily get my life back on track.

"Your eyes are swallowing me, mirrors start to whisper, shadows start to sing." Rain sung as she prepared Hanley a bottle of milk.

I crept up behind her quietly, Hanley quietly watching me from his highchair. "Good morning." I said, patting her on the shoulder.

She spun around, slightly embarrassed and covered her mouth. "I had no idea... Did you hear me singing?" She quickly pressured me.

"Yes, but it's alright. Your voice isn't so bad, you know." I mumbled to her whilst concentrating on Hanley who had his arms out reaching for me. "Come here little fella." I sighed, lifting him out of his chair and swinging him up over my shoulder. "Daddy missed you..."

Rain snapped back over me. "Oh, but my voice is terrible. I can't sing to save my life. I'm sorry." She stumped, walking over to me and handing me the bottle.

"No." I reassured her, taking the bottled and moving Hanley's head into the crook of my elbow. "Your voice is pretty."

She sighed at me. "How are you feeling?"

"Much better, thank you." I bluntly replied.

She smiled and slammed into me, forcing us into an awkward locked hug. "Oh! I'm so glad your felling better!" She said, swaying me gently but tightly in her mangled grip.

"Whoa." I said, pushing her back with my hand. "What are you doing?" I starred at her now, feeling slightly invaded.

She looked back at me like a deer in the headlights. "I just... I gave you a hug. In a friend sort of way." She said tipping back from me.

"Friends. That's all we are Rain." I stabbed, turning away from her now and coldly starring at the surrounding wall. "Thank you for taking care of me. But that doesn't mean it changed anything between us."
