Justine raised her eyebrows at Toby before suddenly realising he was serious. "You're crazy" she stated.
"Am I?" Toby asked, his cheeky grin making her smile.
"Yes, yes you are. In case you hadn't noticed, we have literally just moved"
"So?" he grinned, his enthusiasm making Justine slightly uneasy.
"So, we'd be in Spain for three months, Toby. That's a quarter of a year, and it's not like it's a short flight. We can't just come home at the weekends" Justine turned her attention to Pupzor and Mac who were placidly sitting at their feet "And we can't take them with us"
"But" Toby interjected before she cut him off.
"And, I can't just ask you to stop what you're doing and come with me. It wouldn't be fair"
"Do you want to go?" Toby asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Toby I-"
"Do you? If you don't think about any of the things you just said, do you want to go to Spain?" he watched her intently as she restlessly glanced around the room.
"Yes" Justine answered quietly, focusing on a point to the left of Toby's head on the wall behind him.
"Then I don't care about anything else. We can keep this place, and we know lots of people who would look after these guys" he indicated the two dogs who were completely unaware of the life-changing conversation going on behind them. "A nine hour flight? So what? And who says we can't come back for a visit?"
"But what about you?" Justine asked, looking at him properly now.
"What about me? I can still make all my videos from Spain, and the Audience might enjoy some Spanish lazy vlogs" Toby smiled excitedly.
Justine was still dubious and took the opportunity to point out the obvious. "We don't speak Spanish."
"No shit, Sherlock" Justine couldn't help but smile at his vain attempt at sarcasm "but everyone else speaks English anyway"
"Not where we'll be for 3 months; only Spanish"
"I'm sure there's an app for that" Toby replied smugly. Justine did not reply; she had nothing else to say. "So? We're moving to Spain?" he asked hopefully.
Justine sighed heavily and stood up, walking to the other end of the room and beginning to pace. "I don't know. Our lives are here; our friends, family…dogs. Can we really just up and go like this for 3 months?"
Toby stood up and waked over to where Justine was pacing, nibbling the varnish from her nails. "Come here" he sighed softly and Justine moved closer to him, cuddling into his chest. He kissed her chastely on the lips and Justine put her hand on the back of his neck to pull him closer for a longer, lingering kiss. She kissed him deeply before pulling away and leaning her forehead against his; their eyes locked on each other.
"What are we doing?" she whispered to him, and Toby kissed her nose with his cheeky smile returning.
"We're being spontaneous" he declared, and Justine raised an eyebrow.
"Are we spontaneous people?" at this question Toby couldn't help but laugh.
"Justine, have you ever met you? You are one of the most spontaneous people I know." She gave him a questioning look and he continued "we randomly went to the zoo the other day because you were playing on a new map on COD and yesterday night we went to find ice cream at 3 in the morning for no reason whatsoever. We are spontaneous" Toby clarified.
"Right" Justine said, admitting defeat.
"We are moving to Spain" Toby declared.
"Right" she repeated.
"When are we moving to Spain?" Toby asked, realising he didn't know.
Justine grinned awkwardly and pulled away from the hug, turning her back on Toby to go into the kitchen. "You know how we're spontaneous?" she called from the other room, pretending to be actually doing something.
"Yeah" he called back, feeling a slight concern over what Justine was going to say.
"Well, we're going tomorrow" she held her breath for a few seconds, waiting for a reply.
"Right."
