Concern and uncertainty crosses his face as she pulls away before it occurs to him her concern and he blushes, “No..No, I …I  didn’t mean….I am sorry I simply meant to walk you to your room.  I will fetch Fran.  I am sure she is here somewhere.”   The moment evaporates before their eyes Michael stands but his hands never leave her, “Let me get Fran.”<br/><br/>Walking to Fran’s room he knocks gently on her door, he says “Fran?”  Strange that she would not answer normally she is quick to answer.  Walking back from her room with a confused look on his face, he looks to Alliana, “She is not in her room.  She should have been back from babysitting by now.”  Concern grows in his voice as he paces through the house calling out her name.  Making his way to the kitchen he catches the note from the corner of his eye.  Pulling the note from the door he reads the note and reads it a second time.  His cheeks turn deep red as realization sets in what it means.  He walks slowly to back to Alliana with a half a smile on his lips.  Handing her the note he says, “I don’t think she will be home tonight.”
