nonetheless, elliot was in her dorm room, pulling on a sweater as she gazed out the window at the sunset over the horizon. she always admired them, and loved that she scored a room with a view of the ocean. she finally tore her gaze away and grabbed her tote bag that was filled with all her beach necessities for when she went out for bonfires.

of course, she was running late, making her way out to the elevator after locking her door. at least she lived in close proximity to the beach. she somewhat jogged there, her flip flops making the most annoying sound with each stride on the sidewalk that led to the sand. she finally saw dimitri and her face lit up. she kicked off her shoes once in the sand, and picked them up, joining him at his side. “hey stranger.” she said with a grin, wrapping him in a hug.

they had made it to their hotel pretty late the night before, so it surprised elliot when she had woken up so early the next morning. it could’ve been excitement,it could’ve been the nerves that she had felt when it came to thinking about her and dimitri (all good thoughts). but nonetheless, it was nice to wake up beside him, cuddled up with him underneath the covers. she took a moment or two to just study his face, smiling to herself. he looked so peaceful, and completely adorable; it made her stomach fill with butterflies.

she finally decided to stop gawking at him, getting out of bed carefully so that he could keep sleeping. she made her way into the little kitchen, shutting the door behind her gently so that she could start cooking breakfast, humming softly to herself as she started to fry bacon and mix pancake batter. she loved cooking, even though she didn’t do it often. it was something that her mom had taught her how to do, and she loved all the memories that came about whenever she was cooking away. when she heard the bedroom door open, she called over a cheerful, “good morning!” and carried on with her cooking.
