Levi tapped his fingers absently on the steering wheel. It was a long drive back to Arnold from Omaha. His mind kept drifting back to sitting in Cath's backyard in the lazy hours of the afternoon doing nothing in particular. How special it was to just do nothing with someone. The sun blaring through the window warmed his arm, reminding him of the sensation of her warm body leaning against his.
He risked a glance at his phone. She hadn't texted him for a few hours. Perhaps she was busy with Wren? Or maybe she was going for a walk?
"Dude, calm down," he told himself aloud, deciding to turn the radio on. Was it his relationship with Reagan that had left him like this? He didn't want to be away from Cath for a minute, let alone a couple weeks. Even through exams, they'd studied together, making time for each other when there wasn't any.
The radio wasn't helping and the reception between towns was poor anyway so he decided to put an audio book on instead. A few minutes in he realised he wasn't listening and turned it off. Turning off, he stopped the car and laid his head on the steering wheel. He'd forgotten what it was like to be head over heels in love. His heels were on the brake pedal, but his head was still back in Omaha, sitting in Cath's backyard.
The air con buzzing brought back his thoughts to reality. Banging hard on the dashboard until it quietened, he sat up and went back to the highway. The sooner he got to Arnold, the sooner he could talk to his mom and the sooner he talked to his mother the sooner he'd know when Cath could visit. That was reason enough to concentrate on getting home safely. A smile spread across his face as he switched the radio on and a soppy love song started to play. He sang along at the top of his lungs all the way to the next town.
A/N: I just wanted to quickly thank the people who reviewed chapter one and those who asked for more. I'm sorry this isn't much. A special thank you to Ireadtomanybooks for finding a mistake I'd made using a different character name accidentally (the character is from another piece I am writing). It's fixed now. Have an awesome day and please review!
