Who: Lorna and Alex
What: Vacationing!
Where: the Grand Canyon
When: during the Ghost plot
Warnings: cursing, adult content.

This was possibly the most fun Lorna had ever had. She'd spent the entire week traveling with her boyfriend, visiting all the awesome places they could think of. With her powers, they could go anywhere and see anything, with no worry about the cost.

This particular day their plans were to see the grand canyon at sunrise, and then travel some, and camp during the night. It was, in her humble opinion, a very good plan.

Except for the fact that she was going to be doing all of this without any caffeine until they actually got to the Grand Canyon. But that was okay! Really!

	"We could always move back, you know." He grinned as he drove. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She shrugged. "We already bought the place in London, and you're teaching there, and I'm going to school there. . . It just seems like it'd be overly complicated." This was one of the reasons she'd been hesitant to have a part in buying anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"We can move the place, I can get a new job, and you can transfer... I mean... if yuo want to live here, I wouldn't mind it, and I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shrugged. "Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to be with you. If that means I'm transfering here, then that's fine. If it means we stay in London until you get into a better position to leave, that's good too. I just. . . you moved out there for me, and bought house there because of that, and I'd feel bad demanding that you move back after all that time."

	He shook his head. "You aren't demanding. Would you be happier here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She shrugged. "Alex, I couldn't be any happier if we lived in the fucking city of candy and ponies. We could live in Siberia and I would still be happy to be with you. Beside, I'm not the one who has the most difficult change here. Transferring is easy, but changing jobs isn't."

She stroked his hair. "I'll stand by you no matter what you do. So you should decide what it is exactly that you want."

	He facepalmed. "I just want to be with you, and have you be happy." He drove on. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"And that's what I want too. Would you be happier here? I like London, but I will admit that I'm a little homesick. But at the same time, this isn't actually home, and I could be working off of nostalgia that is completely off base. We could move here and hate it. Beside, it's your house, so you should decide where you want it."

Why did they never have the conversations when she'd gotten a full night's sleep?

	"So we buy a small plot of land somewhere over here and we duplicate the house. And then we can just go back and forth." He grinned. "Makes sense to me." He nodded. "BUt all I know is I can't stand the idea of living without you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-06-16 01:24 am UTC (link)
	She chewed her thumbnail, anxious now. "You don't have to do that! I don't want you to waste your money like that. It doesn't matter where we live, we can move here or stay there. . . I just want to be with you. That's all I care about, and all that concerns me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	makesomenoise 2008-06-16 01:27 am UTC (link)
	He facepalmed, and eyed her. "So we start oput over there and then see what happens?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-06-16 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"Sure. That's fine. England's great. I can finish my degree and keep my scholarship, and you can keep your job, and we can break our new house in properly. . . Staying put sounds like a good idea." Later they could move. For now they had to figure out what they wanted, obviously. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Alex was mightily confused, but he just nodded. "Okay." A little while later, he grinned. "You are the most amazing woman I know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-06-16 02:01 am UTC (link)
	She laughed. "You're just saying that because I confuse you." She sighed a little. "I'm sorry. I just get so. . . I dunno, nervous when I have to make a decision that I haven't had time to think about. So I ramble and get confused and just. . . I'm sorry." She shook her head. "I wish I were less crazy."

	makesomenoise 2008-06-16 02:04 am UTC (link)
	"You are wonderful, and amazing, and sometimes you confuse me, but there is never a day or night when it is not worth it to me to be by your side. I'd trade everything else I know and have just for the chance to stay with you and make you happy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-06-16 02:17 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "There's nothing in the world more important to me than you. Are you sure you wouldn't rather be in the States? I don't want you making a decision you'll regret just because you think it'll make me happier." She squeezed his shoulder. "I love our house, and our neighborhood, and my college, but if you'd rather live here, then I'm all for it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He facepalmed. "No. No changing minds. Living in England." He nodded. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good." Lorna nodded, and laughed. "We really need a set of dice to make our decisions for us, I think." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	makesomenoise 2008-06-16 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"Hmmm. Dice good." He nodded. "Hmmmm, which way do we turn at the next fork?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna sighed. "I dunno. Oh! Left! Sorry. Brains are addled at the moment." She yawned widely. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He smiled. "Rest. It should be straight driving from here on till the next sight seeing point, and I can wake you for that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	compassrose 2008-06-16 06:54 am UTC (link)
	"Alright. Love you, baby." She kissed his head and put her seat all the way back, covering her eyes with her arm. Ten minutes later, she was fast asleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
