Kate began to clear the plates and cups, and Sidney helped her, even though Kate said he didn’t have to. With Kate’s family inside cleaning up the kitchen and leaving her and Sidney to clean up the outside, the two of them snuck in quick kisses when they knew no one was looking. They took everything inside that needed to be washed, and Kate’s mom handed them each a garbage bag. They walked back outside, and made their way to garbage cans. After they put the bags in the cans and were walking back around the house, Sidney pulled Kate aside and kissed her. As they continued to kiss, Kate took a step backwards and rested against a wall of her house, and Sidney placed his hand on the small of her back, and brought her close to him. They kept on kissing for a couple more minutes until they heard someone coming. They broke apart quickly.
“Everyone was wondering where you two had gone to,” Larry said. He found them looking shocked: Sidney’s hand was now on Kate’s hip, and Kate was still leaning against the wall.
“Just talking for a minute,” Kate said, smiling.
“Uh huh, sure,” Larry said, smiling and rocking back and forth. “I’ll tell them you two didn’t run off somewhere; that you’ll be inside in a minute.”
As Larry walked away, Sidney turned and looked right into Kate’s eyes. “He’s one of the normal ones?” he asked her.
“He married in,” Kate laughed. “Remember that.”
Sidney laughed, and leaned in and kissed Kate again. This time their kiss was brief. They then walked inside, and Sidney said good-bye to everyone, saying how it was nice to meet them (all of Kate’s family had morning flights the next day, so Sidney wouldn’t see them). Kate told her mom she’d be back in a minute, and she left with Sidney.
“They weren’t that bad, were they?” Kate asked him as they walked to his place.
“Well,” Sidney began. He laughed and so did Kate. “No, I like your family. They were nice. Your uncle Larry is a whole other topic.”
“You got that right,” Kate laughed.
They soon reached Sidney’s door. As Sidney placed his hands on her hips, he asked, “So, when can you do something tomorrow?”
“Anytime after twelve,” Kate replied, resting her hands on his shoulders. “After we take all of them to the airport, I’m home free.”
“Sounds good. Give me a call when you’re done.”
With that, he leaned in and kissed her. “I better go,” Kate whispered after they broke apart. “Larry will be coming over here before you know it.”
Sidney laughed quietly, and whispered, “I wish you could come up.”
“Me too,” Kate said. “But if I’m gone much longer…”
“Yeah, I know. I love you.”
“Love you too. See you tomorrow.”
She gave him a quick kiss, and walked back home.

It took all of Kate’s family and their cars to get everyone to the airport. After they dropped them off, all of them were ecstatic. Neal had to head back to school to take his last final, so he was gone. Kate’s parents decided to spend the day at Robinson running errands and shopping, and Kate headed back home. After she parked her car at her house, she walked over to see Sidney.
“Hi, Kate!” Nathalie greeted Kate as she opened the door. “Sidney’s upstairs in his room, finishing up his packing.”
“Thanks, Nathalie.” Kate walked inside and walked upstairs to Sidney’s room. When she got there, she knocked on the door, and Sidney opened it with a smile.
“Hey,” he said, opening the door a little more.
“Hey,” Kate replied with a smile on her face as she walked into his room. He shut the door behind her.
“All packed up?” she asked, motioning to the bags on the floor.
“Getting there. I’m not taking everything home; I have a bunch of stuff there.”
“Want me to drive you?” ”Sounds good.” He leaned in and gave her a kiss. As they kept kissing, they slowly moved over to his bed, and Kate laid down on it, and Sidney gently came down on top of her. He began to unbutton her shirt, but Kate stopped him.
“What’s wrong?” he asked her.
“We can’t do this here,” she said, beginning to sit up.
“I guess you’re right,” he replied, obviously a little upset as he too sat up.
“But no one’s home at my house, and no one will be for awhile,” Kate said with a smile on her face as she buttoned up her shirt.
He smiled back at her, and they got up and walked out of the room and downstairs. He told Nathalie he’d be back in awhile, and they left.
