An: Inspired by the Owl City song galaxy-the lyrics "But dear God, You're the only North Star I would follow this far."
She asks him while sitting in his armchair no less, big eyes and pouty lip. She has a slight accent now, it's endearing and he knows it's a lost cause as soon as she asks because it's her.
"How quickly do you want to leave?" He sighs in resignation. She grins, she knows she's won.
"As soon as possible." She proposes. He shakes his head.
"Give me a day." He requests. He needs to get his affairs in order.
"Okay." She grins. A long trip just for a bookstore. Or several to find a rare book. But it's Elena and he has a hard time saying no to the young vampire. He likes her company. England has been a little too routine anyway, he tells himself.
"I'll pick you up at seven am." He tells her, and she nods, smile on her face.
"Great." She says, and she disappears, he almost forgets she has her own place of residence in this city, she's over so much. She has her own room and closet filled with her things in his house because of it. She's off to go pack, he assumes. He fixes himself a drink and begins to finish business that cannot be put off. There's a little part of him that is looking forward to it. More alone time with Elena. Bonding. He's always admired her, and values their friendship greatly. Maybe it is a good idea to get rid of the routine.
