City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

Biting her lip, Ele shook her head, not paying attention to the bay, however beautiful it was. Looking at Tyler, her eyes wide and fearful, Ele took a deep breath,

"It's not mom, well, mom is part of it but not the part I'm talking about..."

Ele reached up and put her hand on Tyler's cheek,

"What if I go back to the city and can't leave again? What if I leave and we realize this was all just a crazy, wild fling and we breakup? What if I leave and you remember you like being a bachelor and having the house to yourself with no girlfriend to steal your clothes, or force you to watch her TV shows, or steal all the hot water?"

"I'm going to miss you,"

Ele said quietly, watching the forest and town go by.

"But I'm also kind of afraid."

"Do you want to spend tonight at the resort?"

Ele asked a couple minutes into their drive, tracing circles on Tyler's leg,

"I have to take the SUV back to the rental company at the airport, and my flight leaves at 2 pm. I'll be back on Friday at 4 pm."

"True story!"

Ele said, folding up her own license and putting it in her wallet. Back in the car, Ele put her hand on Tyler's thigh again, settling into her seat even as she was harnessed in.

Nodding, Ele pulled her wallet from her back pocket and handed over her ID. As she filled out her information, Ele looked down at the address line and she smiled as she filled out Tyler's home address,

"And they believed you? Just like that? How very trusting!"

Ele said with a smile, signing her license and getting her ID back.

Following Tyler into the ACE, Ele hung back as he did what he needed to do. It was still a strange feeling, getting to know what would be her new life. It was a whole different way of life out here, slower, and more traditional, but Ele didn't mind it as much as she thought she would.

Hurrying out of the bedroom, Ele had the sweatshirt tied around her waist and swung her duffel bag over her shoulder. While Tyler had been getting the boat ready, Ele had packed the leftover meat from brunch, as well as some protein bars, water, and other things.

"Yup! Let's get going!"

Standing up, Ele cleared the table and decided to worry about doing the dishes later. Going to the bedroom, Ele grabbed one of Tyler's sweatshirts, she didn't have one of her own, because she remembered how cold she had gotten at the last race.

Lucky! I'm awake at least until noon today. Have a good sleep!

"So no fishing again?"

Ele smirked and winked at Tyler as she ate. Finishing her coffee, Ele,sat back and watched Tyler,

"So when I get back from the city, are we still going to do actual fishing?"
