City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

((My first car was a '99 Buick Regal LS with brown/purple/gold chameleon paint. Made for some interesting conversations. Dang, I miss that boat. Stupidly overpowered for a sedan, but it was so fun to drive!))

Ele nodded and went quiet again. She wasn't about to begin talking about the Miata, it was going to be a great car once it was fixed up but for now it was a point of contention with her. Turning so her side was against the back of the couch and she was facing Tyler, Ele kept her eyes on the TV but it was hard to keep them open. It wasn't that she was bored, she was just drained.

"A lavender and silver chrome would be beautiful,"

She agreed, daring a look at Tyler now. Ele looked exhausted, her energy drained from the emotions she had just gone through. This was an easy topic to talk about though.

"Silver in some lights, lavender in others."

"I don't really know,"

Ele admitted with a shrug, examining the car. It was a classic, and very pretty, but Ele wasn't an expert.

"I like the color?"

Ele went quiet and focused on the Tv, watching as the pictures and videos moved on the screen. She didn't really know what was happening but she tried to remain focused,

"Are you in this video?"

"Attaching myself to you is scary."

Ele clarified, not moving to extend the recliner. She was comfortable as she was,

"Understand, I have had no one, not one soul, to lean on for more than ten years. Even as a child I relied in myself. You scare me, but I'm trying to trust you."

Kicking off her shoes, Ele pulled her legs up on the couch before cuddling up under the blanket.

"I've been on my own since I was 15, never been in a relationship, I don't have many friends besides Kate... But letting myself get emotionally close to a man is especially terrifying. You scare me,"

"I'm not scared."

Ele said quietly, being honest. She did leaned back more comfortably in the couch cushions. Keeping her eyes on the TV, Ele shrugged,

"I'm just confused."

Walking in cautiously, Ele went over to the couch and sat on the far end. She didn't know why she felt out of place now, she had been in Tyler's house before. Perhaps it was due to how raw and exposed she felt, with all of her emotions out in full view,

"What are you watching?"

She asked quietly.

Wrapping her arms tighter around herself, Ele let her gaze drop back to the ground, feeling exhausted and confused. She followed Tyler quietly into the house and stood in the entryway. Ele had been on her own,for so long, she had no idea what to do now.

Letting her eyes stay on Tyler, Ele took in a shaky breath as she allowed herself to feel, but it was an emotion she didn't recognize, she had never felt it before. It had never been given to her, nor had she given it away,

"I don't know what this is. What am I feeling?"

She whispered, her body shaking.
