Heather closed the book, put it to the side and stoo up to great Jonah. Even after all these years he could make her heartbeat skip even with a smile kiss. She smiled at him as he inspected the room and looked even a bit guilty, that she didn’t listen and already prepared the suitcases. “I know.” She replied and watched him to pick up their suitcases and followed him out of the bedroom and down the stairs.

The weather outside was chilly for fall in the southeast, but then again Asteria usually didn't follow the world's climate. It would be warmer once they arrived in Florida and headed over to Daytona Beach. He turned on the radio to a low volume to play as background music as they drove the car into the ferry and parked where the usher said to do so. He relaxed as the boat took off and took hold of Heather's hand before looking over to her, his head still against the headrest. "You alright?" He asked her then, his voice casual but with a hint of concern. He was always concerned for her.

Finally it was Friday. Although Heather loved her job, weekeds were always nice and especially now, since Jonah suggested to spend the weekend outside of the town. After everything that happened the thought if escaping a bit was actually nice. Maybe that was also the reason, why she wanted to visit her parents. And while it was nice to be away for a little, she knew her place was here with Jonah. This was now more important that her secret, that she tried to hide from him, but at the same time she was scared the longer she kept it, the worse the demage would get. But Jonah needed her now and that was the only thing that counted now.

After school she drove home and take a bag from the closet filling it with clothes that she thought she could need over the weekend. Once she was done with packing her own things, she took a second bag and filled it with stuff for Jonah. The sooner they can go, the better it was. When she was done she left the bags on the bed and walked over to the kitchen to make some sandwiches, that they could eat later. Even though Jonah said he would take care of everything, she couldn’t just not do anything at all. 

He knew that they both needed a break, both worked long and hard hours. It was always a nice surprise whenever he came home to a well cooked homemade meal as she usually arrived a few hours before himself, although he didn't mind the take outs a few times a week or whenever there was no time for anything. The couple was well off, more than the usual young married match because Jonah was the ceo of the elite bank in town, that privilege allowed for them to own a vacation home in the Floridian coast.
