Rating: PG
Status: Complete Narrative
It had been a couple weeks since Elia Martel had died. It has also been a couple of weeks of Lyanna agonizing over the decision to head to Orange County to see her son. Eventually her love for him, curiosity and need for an adventure won out over her fear of being rejected and she made the decision to leave Canada, possibly for good. She left the flower shop in capable hands and said she would be back in a month or so. She was going to take the slow way to Orange County. Lyanna didn't really trust cars or planes anymore. Not since the accident. Trains just felt safer somehow, even if it was incredibly slow. It would give her enough time to figure out what she was going to do once she showed up though. Maybe get a cheap hotel or a month to month apartment for her stay. She wasn't sure how long she was going to stay, but she wasn't the type to give up easily either. She wanted to be with her family again. She longed for it and she hoped that she could be forgiven.
Lyanna boarded the train with just a backpack full of clothes and little odds and ends. It was scary how compact and portable her entire life was. She didn't own a lot which didn't really make sense since she didn't travel very much either. She just didn't see the need for too many material things. So, with backpack in hand she boarded that train without any idea what turn her life might take once it stopped in California. For better or for worse she was in for it now.
