Summary: Time to settle in



Eliot sat at the small table in the motel room, eating the remaining fries from their take out dinner. April was across from him, laptop open, scrolling through rental sites. Nate sat propped against the headboard on his bed, legs crossed at the ankles, watching WGN News.

Eliot had worked his first day as a line cook at B&J's American Cafe. He'd been hired full-time on the spot on Monday after his interview. He'd be working around the Pappas' niece's college schedule, as she was the alternate cook, giving him Monday and Wednesdays off weekly until May. The hours at the diner were great, in Eliot's opinion, from 0600 to 1400. The early afternoons allowed for him not to have to find time to cram in his akido/kempo workout.

It had been a pleasant surprise that April had been able to find a job quickly, too. Eliot hadn't been concerned about Nate; by Tuesday, Nate had already obtained a full-time-with-benefits job in advertising sales at the local WCOE-FM radio station. April had gotten hired that morning as a part-time receptionist at Medspa Women's Healthcare.

With jobs in hand and salaries known, it was time to find a place to live and get settled. Three adults and a collie in a small motel room wasn't the ideal situation. Eliot slipped a fry to Cody under the table and hid a smile behind his hand when April gave him a look.
