He held her in his arms for a few minutes, before he finally got the nerve to ask.
"Why?"
One simple word that held the weight of the universe on it.
"I'm sorry," she whispered against his chest.
He pulled away in surprise. "I-"
"Can we talk somewhere private?" she interrupted, glancing around.
He nodded. "When does your shift end?" he asked, looking down at her, looking so small, yet so adorable in her waitress uniform, still in his arms. He felt his heart swell at the sight of her.
She smiled up at him sheepishly. "Right now," she said, a blush kissing her cheeks.
Reluctantly, he let her go. "Then go get packed up. I'll meet you out front."
He walked backward, keeping her in his sights, afraid that if he looked away, she would disappear. After he walked into two tables and three people, however, he decided to take his chances at her disappearance and walk looking forward. He waited for her by his Jeep, the same Jeep in which they had gone off-roading so many times while living in Montana.
Finally, she came out, looking breath-taking in a pleated black skirt, off the shoulder red top, and ballet flats.
"Shall we go?" she asked, looking at him nervously.
"Where are we going?" he asked, feeling confused.
"Do you have a place to stay?" she asked.
He thought about it for a moment. Technically, he was supposed to be staying with his friend and his friend's cousin, but he had mentioned that hi might stay at a hotel. He made a split second decision.
"No, no I don't," he replied.
She smiled a tiny smirked. "Then follow me."
She got into her very own Jeep Wrangler with one last glance at him.
He quickly jumped into his Jeep, starting it up and getting ready to follow his Rose, wherever she took him.
