Quietly go downstairs.

You have the crazy thought of using your blanket as a makeshift rope and easily lower Loretta with her slight frame. However, climbing down the blanket rope would be a problem for you since it doesn't look like it would be strong enough for your mass.

Dashing that idea, you decide to take the simpler but riskier route -- down the creaky stares, sneak past the sleeping old farmer in the living room and then out the kitchen door.

You wrap your jacket around Loretta, wearing only her thin, translucent nightgown, to protect her from the cool night air outside. She smiles at you for your gallant display and grabs your hand to lead you towards the stairs.

Like a graceful dancer, Loretta carefully walks down the stairs. Having adjusted your eyes to the darkness, with what little moonlight shining in, you attentively watch her small bare feet. It is apparent that having grown up in this house all her life, the farmgirl knows which creaky steps to avoid. Despite your heavier frame you manage to reach the bottom of the stairs causing a disturbance no louder than a squeak of a mouse.

Having successful past the first obstacle, Loretta squeezes your hand and you can make out her beautiful smile in the darkness of the hallway. She starts to walk past the living room but you stop her, unsure if that's the safer way to sneak out.

The kitchen door leads out towards the barn but you two will have to sneak past the living room where Loretta's father is snoring loudly. However, the front door is closer but you think it may be stuck.
