Well, this is awkward.
Who: Rylee and Elias
What: Considering how their last meeting went, I can't even imagine how this one will go.
Where: Mailboxes!
When: Today! Why not?
The weekend had been stressful enough, what with Rylee being arrested for the first time in his life, but he and Charlie had still managed to end it on a good note. They were happy, she wasn't upset that he had lost his temper, and she had mentioned something about plans for Halloween. They were doing well and Rylee had little doubt that their relationship was going anywhere but in a good direction.
With the Columbus Day weekend, the museum had been packed with tourists, particularly families, and Rylee couldn't manage to get a full three day weekend. Opting to go in on Monday so that his Saturday and Sunday were free; the day had moved along quickly and soon enough Rylee was home.
Dressed in his typical work clothes of dress pants and a button down shirt, Rylee was eager to get home and kick off his dress shoes but first he paused at the mailboxes to retrieve the mail he hadn't gotten for the past week. Bills and junk mail were expected. There was a small package which Rylee opened and peeked through: a letter from his mother with a birthday card she instructed Rylee to give to Charlie. With a small smile, Rylee tucked the envelopes and turned to the last one with an address label of the USMC; probably something to do with the end of Rylee's inactive service coming up the following year.
Turning on his heel, Rylee took a step in the direction of the elevator, his mind already going through his plans for the evening. Cleaning up his desk area, seeing what books on mythology he had to bring back to the library, followed by take out food that Charlie was going to grab and tv watching with her for the rest of the night. Then his eye caught the movement of someone else in the lobby which gave him pause. Looking up, Rylee noticed Charlie's... friend... Elias walking towards him and immediately he felt his jaw tighten as he attempted to smile at him in greeting.
