I let Caroline change in my car because she said she was too lazy to walk all the way back to the restrooms. Smart girl, she covered the windows with her towels so that I had no chance of peeking through. Even though I tried to see through the side view mirrors standing outside, I couldn't see.

Sucks for me.

I've already changed into a white tank and green khaki shorts so I guess I'm good to go. To top it all off, I slide on my black RayBans.

After what feels like the whole day, Caroline finally steps out of the car in her grey tee shirt and cute jean shorts. Her damp hair is let loose, the bandana I bought her hugging the strands in place.

"You look cute today." I say, pecking her softly on the cheek and leading her to the front seat.

"Thanks, you look pretty cute yourself." She says shyly, shuffling her feet like a kid who has to go wee.

This is when my cockiness kicks in. "Love, how many times do I need to tell you? Say it with me- sexy..." I say the last word slowly, moving my mouth dramatically.

"Don't get ahead of yourself Styles." Caroline chuckles as she rolls her eyes, climbing into the car.

I dramatically hold my heart. "Ouch. My ego has been wounded." I get into the driver's seat and start the car.

"Hey, what's in the trunk? There're like big boxes and stuff." She says and I laugh.

"You'll see." I say as I drive out onto the road, and to our next destination.

"Where are we going now?" Caroline asks me, looking out the window. Her eyes follow the pattern of the trees fading away due to speed.

"Be patient, my little grasshopper." I step into monk mode for a second there. Caroline impatiently crosses her arms over her chest, chewing her inner lip.

After about thirty minutes, we arrive at the Chars River. This is where mum and dad first met; that's what dad said in his weakest attempt to gain my love. I remember the whole story; how dad "accidentally" pushed mum into the river, and how he went in to save her. She obviously hated his guts after that. But for some twisted reason, that hate soon turned into love. Then dad couldn't control his balls so they had me a year later...they weren't even married.

Mum died as Anne Cox, not Styles.

"Why are we here, Harry?" Caroline asks as I park the car through my sad thoughts about the mum I never met completely.

"It was a special place to my parents, I want to make it our special place too." I say softly, climbing out of the car. Caroline does the same.

"Oh, that's sweet." She simply says, but I know she's not speaking her mind. By the look on her face, she looks like she was thinking about my parents; my shitty father and dead mother.

I open the trunk of the car and pull out a large picnic basket and a blanket. I hold Caroline's hand as I lead her to a nice shady spot under an old tree. And it also has a nice view of the river's glistening water.

"Oohhhh, are we having lunch here?" Caroline giggles excitedly, squinting her eyes because of the bothering sunlight. I take my RayBans off and hand them to her. She puts them on.

Spreading the blanket out, I nod my head. Once I do, Caroline immediately kicks off her wedges and sprawls herself out on it. I chuckle softly as I sit down beside her.
