@ConspicuousLea Julian nods his head matter-of-factly.
“That settles that, then. My aunt Eunice is sick and I have no idea how long she’ll make it. So, naturally you have to go with me because I’m a wreck and can’t drive.”
@ConspicuousLea Julian weighs the pros and the cons of that little white lie and nods his head when he figures it alright.
“Just make it some plausible person that doesn’t actually exist? Like an aunt! I don’t have an aunt. No bad juju that way on my family.”
He was only half kidding.
@ConspicuousLea Julian leans into the kiss until his smile makes it impossible for it to continue. Pulling back to look into her eyes, Julian runs his fingers through her hair.
“This is going to be the best trip I’ve ever taken. I’m ready to go. Let’s just pack up and leave and not look back.”
@ConspicuousLea Julian smiles as she talks, but that smile grows even wider when she starts to sing. And she sings perfectly and the best song that fits them pretty well.
“Definitely put that song on the playlist! Twice. So when we shuffle, it comes up more than just the one time.”
