October 23rd
The next morning, Leo wasn't by my side. In his place was the heavenly smell of bacon.
Like a possessed zombie, I climbed out of the high squishy bed and headed straight for the food.
"How are you feeling Ella?" Leo asked, sensing me the second I entered the kitchen.
October 30thIt was 3 am by the time we got home from the airport and after a beautifully long sleep that went well into the afternoon, I finally dragged myself out of bed. Leo was no longer in the room and when I got downstairs, I found one of the twins downstairs."Hey, Marco or Carlos?" I asked."Marco. Carlos is on his w
'An old dress'Soon after, Marco and Carlos herded me out of the house and marched me home. Leo was waiting on the doorstep for us so the twins shoved me forward and stayed at the end of the drive looking guilty."Thank you!" he called, "You can go! But I can smell it from here so I wouldn't go home to Mom just yet!"They then scarpered, all limbs intact and without sufferi
October 31st"Ella!" I heard a voice say from the other side of the yellow and purple striped room. "Ella!" It said again.I apologised to the short snail for interrupting his fascinating story about his wife giving birth to the picture frame in his hallway and left to go and investigate."Ella!" Leo said.

"Come with me, there are some people you need to meet."I nodded my head and followed him through the splitting crowd.Eventu
As we danced, I spotted Max over Leo's shoulder, leaning against one of the huge pillars on the edge of the hall. He was glaring directly at me. Absolutely furious. I opened my mouth to say something to Leo but he raised his eyebrow, before mouthing something at me like 'I wouldn't if I were you'. I closed my mouth and instead just smiled at Leo, who was completely oblivious to the whole thing. When I looked back, Max was gone.About ten minutes later, I found myself with Lia and Allison drinking far more champagne than will do us any good.
Leo marched along a long corridor until the music and chatter were faint where he slammed me into the wall."Do you have any idea how furious I am, right now?" he said his hand raising.He then closed his eyes and paused for a moment before taking a breath out and lowering his arm again. I was certain that he almost hit me.But it would have
November 1stThe next morning I woke in Leo's arms. He was just sitting up before he sauntered without a word into the bathroom.A long steamy shower later, he returned drying his hair with a towel."I'll take you to help Lia pack," he said.
