The past few days had made Jedikah starkly aware of just how trapped they all truly were. Moments like this made everything feel so damnably normal when their lives were anything but. The ability to take a trip with his girlfriend was a wonderful thing until he thought about it, until he acknowledged the fact that it was only for a few days and then it was back to life as usual under the dome. Whatever "usual" was anymore.
He'd done his best to not think about any of that in the past few days, though, at least not while around Vanya. She had too much to deal with in terms of her family; this entire purpose of this trip had been to give her the chance to get away from thinking about things -- and that included worrying about him when he was thinking about things. And this was Vanya, he knew that she would be concerned no matter how she felt and no matter the fact that he would downplay his own considerations.
As a result, they'd spent the last couple days mostly out doing things. Not constantly adventurous things, but they'd done a fair bit of sightseeing and shopping, and just getting out as much as they could in the few days they had away from town. He was just grateful for the fact that while they went home the next day, they just had to get home at some point during it. He had a feeling she was just as reluctant to go home as he was.
Jedikiah stood out on the balcony of their room, looking out at the pool without really focusing on it. He'd always had a tendency to get a little too wrapped up in his own head, but at least this time he'd managed to get this far into the trip before it happened.
