danny felt adrift, the one thing in his life that kept him anchored and sane was nowhere to be found and he was more lost than he had been in a long time. "breathe, just breathe" he muttered as he downed his pills and checked himself out for the billionth time-not out of vanity, no one would care-simply to make sure he was up to code with his outfit for the evening. formal went a lot of ways as he had learned from growing up and he would have rather gone too far over than not enough. not enough he thought before muttering the phrase "not enough, never enough." he shut off the water and sat down on the edge of the bed to get his shoes on, he had no idea what he was doing or why but it was...something. danny bit his lip for a minute as he stood, uncertainty nagged at him as it had for god knew how long and he would be glad when it finally let him go. he walked from the bedroom to the living room area and patiently waited, he had given them both plenty of time and besides the hotel wasn't that far away.

danny hated confrontations period which is why he tended to avoid people-well that and he just wasn't a people person. at all. but this was a confrontation that frankly should have happened a while ago and for more than one reason it needed to happen sooner rather than later. hell, it should have happened a while ago but it wasn't until the past week he became familiar with the gravity of the situation and he needed to make it clear that no matter what he and odessa went through personally he would always be on her side and help her through whatever struggles she had, it was by far and away the least he could do given the hell he had put her through for twelve plus years. and no matter what anyone elysian may have thought about danny, when he spoke of his love for odessa he always spoke the truth even if his actions didn't as of late reflect it.

cautiously optimistic. that was the way danny had been feeling since vegas, optimistic that things were going to be okay between them but cautious as things could have gone south at the drop of a hat. sure, they would still have their disagreements, what couple didn't, but overall things had been on an uphill swing since then. marriage. boy, danny had never thought he was marriage material, even after wyatt, hell, even after heather, but, as he had once been told there was only one person that had his heart, always had, always would. to some, a marriage was not a big deal, just a formal way of making a relationship offical. for danny though it was personal, yes, they were bound by the kids, no matter what happened in life, but this was his promise to odessa: that he had never and would ever love the way he loved her, that as long as he was alive he would do his best to keep their love alive, being true to no one but her, not that any could come close. he was hers, she was his, even when they were not together they were inseparable and danny was more than ready to make it offical. walking inside the bedroom, he left it slightly ajar as he looked at her. "so, we're finally doing this?" he asked her, still not entirely sure he believed it.

the drive had been what felt like never-ending, one of many reasons danny seldom made the trip. he only went there for special occasions or when he needed to decompress after a roll or just get away from the world at large. a little apprehensive but mostly just hoping against all hope it could be a nice quiet time away from the world. vegas had been okay, a solid start, but they had still been in the city and around others. here, there was nothing for miles around but mother nature. just mother nature and the two of them. as for whether this would have any affect or not...he bit back a sigh and finally pulled in front of the sprawling mansion (there really was no other word for it) that would have worked as well in the glittery streets of la. "well, it took the better part of the day but here we are" he said as he got out of the car and stretched his legs, the drive had been a lot even with the stops in between. “seven bedrooms, eight baths, indoor pool and jacuzzi, game room, theater, kitchen, etc” he said as he went around the back to grab their things. okay so it may have not been kardashian level rich but that was why danny took an interest in the first place.

danny tugged at the cuffs of his suit. "fucking penguin suit from hell" he muttered before he turned to the bar to get two shots before he got two virgin drinks. of course his job sometimes required him to wear suits but it didn't mean he liked it or it got better with time. he took the drinks, nodded and smiled at the bartender before he pushed away from the bar and slowly made his way around the room. danny had offered to get the kids settled in and right before he left heather decided to have a fit which took him and wyatt a good while before they calmed her down, by the time danny left her eyes were drooping and he hoped she would fall asleep and stay asleep. she usually did, had started sleeping through the night around six months or so with the occasional one-off. danny pushed those thoughts aside and continued moving around the room, slowly moving about until he caught the familiar sight, even from behind he would have known her anywhere. he sucked in a breath and made his way to her, still partly in denial about the way things were going with them. after all, just when things ever went right in his life, the bottom tended to fall out. "sorry i'm late" he said as he shrugged once and handed her the glass.
