“You can get this set of fine cutlery for only three easy payments of 19.99!”
Left on an infomercial, Bobby wasn’t paying much attention to his television. He laid in bed staring at the ceiling while fiddling with the remote in one hand. He strained to look at the alarm clock above him that read 11:46. Time seemed to move at a glacial pace all evening, especially after he kissed Kitty goodnight and went to his room in anticipation. He thought hard about what he wanted to say and especially how to say it.
He hoped that Rogue received the note he had left under her pillow. It was the only place he could think of where other’s wouldn’t notice, except her. A couple from the Brotherhood saw him inside their dormitory, but he was sure they didn’t think twice about it. Discreetness held great importance. He knew that Kitty probably wouldn’t understand and might be a little paranoid at the idea of them together, so she was left in the dark. He didn’t mention anything to the others about it either, stories about him and his ex together could just as easily telephone their way to Kitty’s ear.
Time flew while Iceman burned a hole in the ceiling, the clock read 11:59. He jumped up, pulled over a hoodie, and threw some shoes on. He closed his bedroom door quietly and walked downstairs to one of the back doors. He figured there might be one or two people on guard duty that would spot him, but he tried his best not to bring any attention to himself. He walked to the stable which was several yards away from the mansion and stood in the shadow of the building. He leaned up against the wall and slid down into a sitting position resting his elbows on his knees. The only sounds came from the horses in the stable shifting their stance and a few crickets in a nearby shrub. Where was she?
