βTwo days?β Tyler averts his gaze to her, reading into if she was telling a lie or not, none that he could detect. A grin overtaking his features, crossing his arms. βSounds like weβve got a lot of time on our hands, Sapulpa.β
Tylerβs used to a rush, but this was far different than most of their chasing, enough to leave them startled, and questioning if theyβre next.
As if on instinct, His arms wrapped around Kateβs waist, holding her closer, intaking her scent and all its familiarity.

after a rather close call the truck is quiet and parked by an inn. no one is saying anythingβ itβs just quite and long staring into nothing.
she quietly unbuckles and quietly climbs into the drivers seat, climbing onto @OFTORNADEO β s lap. wrapping her arms around his neck ββ
For the most part, it helped him calm down. A palm of his cupping her cheek, realising the state sheβs left in. Tyler didnβt want Kate feeling like sheβs lost him.
βIf I hadnβt listened to you any sooner, we wouldnβt be here right now..β
Heβs thankful for her,

Iβm.. just not sure when. But, soon. You deserve to know, I know that. Just trust me on this.β
Tylerβs gaze met hers, a silent plea of wanting to drop this written over his features.
He didnβt blame her wondering, or caring for that matter. Itβs just something he hasnβt been open about, and didnβt entirely know when he will be. Tyler couldnβt find himself being upset with her over this, slightly sighing.
βDonβt worry about that nowβ¦ Alright?

she frowned and took a deep breath. she had asked when she was going to meet his parents, theyβd been dating a whileβ¦ heβd met her mother and her fatherββat his grave site.
βtyler Iββ
she wanted to know why he refused to talk about them. boone hadnβt even heardβ
βYou can tell me, Kate.. wouldnβt be the first time someoneβs missed me.β Tyler continuously teased, picking up his rag and wiping off the remaining dirt on his truck. βTrack any storms this way?β
