Eli held Clare, feeling his shirt get stained with tears. He hated when she cried, but all he knew to do was hold her, hold her tight and not let go. He kissed the top of her head and held on tight. He couldn't bear being away from his girlfriend overnight, he had no clue how he could go an entire weekend without seeing her.

Clare brought her head up and looked him in the eye, tears staining her face. Eli didn't like to see her hurting, he bent down and kissed her softly on the lips, almost as if he was afraid he was going to break her.

"Clare, we will get through this. Think of this as a test for us," Eli said while choking back his own tears.

"I just wish that I wouldn't be tested. You know, I just wish I could spend all of my time with you." Then, an idea sparked in Clare's head, and an instant smile formed across her face, and partially confusing Eli. "What if I asked my mom about you joining us? I mean, really, what's one more person?" Eli and Clare both smiled. Eli was happy that Clare wanted to include him. He knew that getting permission from his parents would be no problem. His parents are the ones who practically invited Clare to have sex with him. It was Clare's mom that he wasn't so sure about. It was like she made it her life mission to drive a wedge between them.

"Do you think your mom will go for that though? I mean, it is your mom."

"Well, it's worth a try right?" Clare asked, her blue eyes glittering from her previous tears. "I mean it doesn't hurt to ask… but, I think I should ask her alone. Having you there won't help."

Eli knew that this was true, as much as he hated to admit it, and as bad as he wanted to stay where he was, with Clare in his arms, he knew he had to let go. He leaned back over and kissed her on the forehead. When she looked back up at him, he kissed her lips. He had no plans to stop. For him, when he kissed Clare, he knew that something in the world was right. He silently begged entrance, wanting more that anything to be with her. When Clare finally pulled away, he just rested his forehead on hers, looking deeply into her eyes. He could get lost in her eyes. Clare moved her head to kiss him again and finally said, "I'll let you know Eli, but you should get back to someplace dry, you are starting to shiver."

Eli never even noticed how cold he was getting. Whenever he was around Clare, he never felt any of the effects of cold or wet, all he could ever think about when he was around Clare was Clare. Eli quickly kissed Clare and watched her walk inside. He turned around and walked back to Morty, smiling because of his time with Clare. He didn't care that it was only five minutes; he was able to see Clare. And that was all that mattered.

Clare ran inside after talking to Eli. She hoped that her mom would be reasonable enough to let them go. "Mom!," Clare exclaimed when she got into the kitchen, "I have a question to ask you."

"Clare, I already told you that you couldn't stay home this weekend."

"I know mom, I just… Uh… can Eli come with us?" Clare finally asked in a huff.

Clare watched the expression on her mom's face change. She couldn't read the expressions; they were changing so fast, she couldn't keep up. Helen's face finally settled on one solid expression, but this was one Clare hasn't seen a lot before. It was a cross between anger, worry, and sympathy. Helen knew that her daughter was in deep like with her boyfriend, and she was happy that Clare has been happy. Finally, after rubbing the sides of her nose by her eyes with one of her folded arms, she spoke, "Clare, I really need to think about this. I don't think you are ready to travel to another country with your boyfriend yet."

Clare started to argue, "But mom, you will be there with us, its probably the most supervised we can be. We will be right under your watchful eye. What could come of that?"

Helen put her hand in front of her, signaling Clare to stop. "Sweetie, let me think about it, and let me call Aunt Liz, and see how she feels, because we are using her home, and she has to her 4 children to care for." Clare kissed her mother's cheek and ran upstairs after Helen made this promise. She was getting more excited with the possibility that Eli could be going with her. She would be able to spend a whole weekend with Eli, while being in the house of almost complete strangers.
