Three Months Later…
John picked up his bag and slung it over his shoulder. He forced himself to walk, not run, down the hallway. It seemed to get longer and longer with every step. He just couldn't get out of that building fast enough. "See ya later John." Victoria said sweetly as she passed him in the hallway. "Tell Austin I said hello." "I will." John replies.
Finally he makes it outside to the truck he had rented. He had to drive the next state and it'd be at least another hour. John switched on the radio after cranking the truck and laughed to himself when he realized 'Radar Love' by Golden Earring was playing. What better of a song?
At home Austin was stretched out on the couch reading a romance book while the radio played in the back ground. She knew John's vacation started today but she new better than to pace the floor in anticipation...he'd get there. After a while she set her book down and stretched her body to its full length yawning so hard it made her eyes water. Austin snuggled up under a fleece blanket and closed her eyes. She was just going to get some shut eye before he got home.
John was singing along with the radio strumming his fingers on the steering wheel as he kept his eyes trained on the road and a firm grip on the wheel. His mind was already at home miles away from where he was at that very moment. He couldn't wait to get home to Austin. She had started opening up more and more to him since he had earned her trust. She knew now that he'd never hurt her. They were to the point now where they could cuddle and hold hands without any interference. She could even kiss him now where as before she couldn't bring herself to. He was glad things were improving. John had asked her to marry him three months ago and he still wanted to marry her. He'd give her all the time in the world she needed though, he loved her enough to wait.
