City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

Ele imagined that, seeing all of the birds together and the snowy owl sticking around. She smiled as she swallowed a bite of pizza,

"Maybe it was my spirit animal, coming to give you a hint of what was coming?"

Finishing her pizza slice and feeling full, Ele pushed her plate away and sipped thoughtfully at her drink, a thought forming in her head,

"Owls are birds, and turkeys are birds... Does that mean that the owl was committing cannibalism?"

Ele's eyes went wide at the thought of owls surrounding the house. She also put the idea of their first real kiss in the back of her head, thinking,

What does Tyler constitute as "special"?

"Seriously, I like owls, but if I found myself surrounded and none of them had my long lost letter to Hogwarts in its beak, I would get freaked out."

Shrugging, Ele took a sip of her drink,

"At least for a little while, but I want to try your suggestion. I think that would be really cool!"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"What?"

Ele,looked confused, her brow furrowed,

"1. What do you mean make it special. 2. What tape?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Once, at the San Francisco Zoo. It was so beautiful! Plus, I'm secretly a Harry Potter nerd, so I fell in love with Hedwig from the start."

She replied, picking up her own piece of pizza. Chewing thoughtfully, Ele asked her next question,

"How come you haven't tried to kiss me yet?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"That is a very large, very specific dog."

Ele said approvingly,

"I like virtually all animals, so its hard to narrow down to one. But if I did pick one, I would say a snowy owl."

As their food arrived, Ele scooted away from Tyler so they had room to eat,

"Okay, you ask me a question."

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

((That's fine.))

"8 years difference?"

Ele gasped, looking at Tyler in the face. He certainly didn't look 33, she would have said late 20's.

"Look at you, cradle robber."

Teasingly, Ele went on to the next question,

"Favorite animal?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"June 7. But what year too?"

Shrugging, Ele smiled as the waitress came over and gave them waters and took their order. When she left, Ele tried again,

"Basically, how old are you? I'm June 7, 1991."

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"Hmm... I think I might go for a chicken and sausage one, that sounds really good right now."

She said, laying her head on Tyler's shoulder,

"So, since we're progressing to building a car together and cuddling, and let's not forget the whole sharing a bed thing, we should probably get to know one another a little more."

Ele giggled, playing with a napkin,

"When's your birthday?"

City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

"I know,"

Ele smirked at Tyler, and tried to hold back a laugh. She enjoyed the fact that he took her teasing well. Turning her attention back to the menu, Ele put her hand on Tyler's thigh as she made her decision,

"In that case, do you want to do half and half? Or do you not share well? Because I totally get it if you don't share well."

She turned her head to see Tyler,

"I try to be good and share, but its hard sometimes. I would share with you though. I like you."

Tyler's words warmed Ele, and she felt like she was floating the entire ride to the restaurant. Inside, she scooted close to Tyler, glad that he had chosen a corner booth so Ele could cuddle up to him,

"I am a thinking pizza."

She said, looking through the options,

"Fair warning, I may be short, but I can put away a large pizza by myself."
