City Comes to the Country (Tyler Night and Whitelily)

Not as good as you :-P But it looks amazing!

Sitting up, Ele got out her laptop and began searching for moving companies in the area who could accommodate her time frame. When that was taken care of a little while later, Ele began texting Kate about their plans for the next day.

Trying to occupy her brain, Ele used her phone to browse the web and social media, but when Tyler's text came in she smiled and let the feeling of relief wash over her.

Soon enough it was time to board and Ele was back to San Francisco in a few hours. Taking BART to the Union Station just a few blocks from her apartment, Ele walked quickly to the big white building. Greeting the doorman, Ele went up to her apartment and let herself in. Flopping on her bed, Ele made a face at how strange it felt to be in the space. It felt foreign to her, even though it used to be her safe haven.

Bringing out her phone once again, Ele texted Tyler,

Just got to the apartment. It feels weird to be here. Gonna research some moving companies and call Kate so we can meet up tomorrow. Anything exciting happening?

Letting out a tear-filled laugh, Ele kissed Tyler one more time before forcing herself to let him go and get in the SUV. Waving through her window, Ele turned reversed out and drove away towards the airport.

Staying true to her word, Ele was a complete mess in the car, crying and contemplating turning around, but she pushed on to the airport. By the time she got there she was red-eyed, but in control enough to charge her rental to the company credit card, and then get herself through security and to her gate. Settling in to wait for boarding, Ele texted Tyler,

At the gate now. I miss you already.

Wiping her eyes, Ele looked up at Tyler, wishing she could just have someone else take care of the details back in the city, but that couldn't happen.

"I think it would be best for me to just go. That way I can fall apart on my way there and get myself together before scaring the rental employees."

Rising up on tiptoe, Ele kissed Tyler deeply, wrapping her arms around her neck to prolong it as much as possible. Leaning back she finally said,

"I'll text you when I get through security. I love you so much."

Finishing her food on the way there, Ele made a face as they pulled up to the suite. Getting out, she took her suitcase out of the car and opened the SUV before going inside to throw away her trash.

Standing in the doorway, Ele bit her lip as she tried not to cry, her eyes not looking at Tyler.

Taking the food gratefully, Ele could smell the biscuits and gravy. Taking a bite she nodded,

"This is super good!"

Hugging and walking at the same time became very awkward and hard, so Ele settled for holding Tyler's hand after she grabbed her suitcase and wheeled it out behind her. Packing it into the car, Ele got into the passenger seat and buckled in, touching Tyler again as soon as she could.

Nodding, Ele followed Tyler and glomped onto him, hugging him tightly,

"This is happening until I have to leave. So, plan to work around me."

Trying to smile back, it came out half-hearted. Ele was in no way excited to get up and face leaving. Heaving a sigh, she sat up and got out of bed.

Not bothering to go to the bathroom to change, Ele packed the shirt she had slept in and changed into jeans, a t-shirt, and tied the sweatshirt around her waist again.

Looking around her, Ele shrugged,

"I guess just breakfast now, and then it'll be time to go."

"I don't think so,"

Ele mumbled from her place against Tyler's chest,

"But I can't sleep anymore."
