Amy giggled as Dan lead her down the steps and out onto the streets of London. As they headed for the nearest underground Amy questions Dan as to where they are going he answers a simple "Wait and see" but Dan is just buying himself time, he has no clue where they will go and in all honesty he doesn't really want to be with Amy at all, he'd much rather be at home with Phil...Phil, is that who he truly loves? He pushes the thought out of his mind and retrieves his Oyster card from his wallet. Dan and Amy get on the nearest train and find the last two remaining seats which happen to be next to each other.
Dan studied the tube map opposite him on the train and found they were on the line heading to the station nearest the London Eye, perfect. Before Amy could question why Dan was acting so strange he decided it was best to spark up a conversation. "So what caused you to spontaneously appear on my doorstep then?" He spoke with a joking tone which was taken well by Amy as she played along adding "Well, I needed a fella and I thought 'He looks easy!'" She added a wink on the end which Dan found adorable as she had never been able to wink without her mouth raising one side.
He realised he'd forgotten to reply and mumbled a "Spoken a true slut". Luckily for Dan she took it in good humour and added a cute laugh. The train came to a halt, Dan reached for Amy's hand and they exited the train together glad for the personal space which was not available inside the carriage.
He lead them towards the London Eye, Dan could tell she had caught on as to where they were going but she kept up a questioning tone to her voice, teasing Dan.
They queued and Amy still deciding to pursue the clueless strategy causing them both to end up in hysterics only stopped by the seriousness needed for Dan to pay for tickets and for the two of them needing to board the capsule. Amy had never done this before and Dan took the role of tour guide explaining all the different parts of London Amy had yet to experience as she'd only been in England for a few months. Dan loved her Irish accent and her cluelessness towards the London hussle and bussle and she loved his ability to make all this city nonsense seem easy and normal.
After their trip out they returned home to Dan's apartment with Chinese takeaway. Dan called Phil several times as Amy helped him dish out the food. They sat down forgetting Phil hadn't come to claim his meal. They began to eat and naturally their conversation came to a slight pause and Dan realised his best friend's absence. He calls Phil one more time, no answer. He excuses himself, leaving Amy on the sofa as he checks the whiteboard, if any one of them leaves whilst the other is out or asleep they always leave a note, there was no writing on the board.
Dan stands cluelessly for a couple of seconds.
"Dan?" Amy called from the lounge "any sign of Phil?"
"No..." Dan says softly.
He slowly opens the door to Phil's room, all his draws are open and empty.
