Maggie's Pov:
---------------------------

When I woke up in the morning, Julien was already awake gently picking random patterns on her guitar. She had stayed on call with me all night. "How is it that you always wake up before me?" I asked, grabbing my phone from my nightstand.

"Probably because historically speaking, I get a better night's rest than you do. Good morning, baby," she grinned, making me playfully roll my eyes.

"Good morning. You're most likely correct, that's probably the reason why you're up before me. I will say, the song did help."

Julien's smile grew larger, "Good, I'm glad!" I melted at the way she was looking at me, the little lines by her eyes that became visible every time she cracked a smile, showing that she was genuinely happy.

"Julien, you have got to stop being so cute all the time. You're making it very difficult for me to stay in North Carolina."

"Quit, Maggie. I'm serious, you're gonna kill me," she blushed, looking down at the guitar in her lap.

"But how can I? With that face of yours? Let's be real, you were hand-crafted to perfection," I loved seeing Julien flustered, knowing that my words have that much of an impact on her is enough for me.

"You have work soon, you should probably start getting ready for that," she wiggled her eyebrows.

"You're trying to change the subject! I see you, Baker. Fine, I'll go! I'll talk to you later, darling," I got up from my bed.

"Bye, I love you!" she giggled.

"I love you too!" After we hung up, I didn't really hear from anyone until later in the day when I got very frantic messages from the 'Hell Town' group chat.
