They were leaving tomorrow night, and she wanted to make the most of their time together. She had promised him a trip to the Grand Canyon, so that’s exactly where they were going to go. After some convincing, her parents had allowed them to stay out over-night, as long as they took the necessary precautions. Her father was slowly beginning to trust Nick, which sent Katrina over the moon. She just hoped that everything went smoothly so that her dad didn’t change his mind. It meant a lot to her that they were there and she wanted to have a good time before they went back to school. Who knew what would be waiting for them when they returned. 

After a long week, all Wes wanted was to relax on his bed. His bones ached from all of the running around he had been doing, between helping loading shipments with the organization, and trying to secure a job. He been working a few shifts at town hall, but nothing was guaranteed. Still, he was happy with what he could get. He had yet to start working at the restaurant, but that was in the works. Laying back on his pillows, he looked over at Sara next to him, who was busy watching the television. He felt bad, staying in on a Friday night, but she insisted on still hanging out. Whatever time they could spend together was a great time. Laying on his stomach, he blew out a breath. God, he really didn’t want to be lame and fall asleep. He just needed a boost of energy.

AGetting up, he went into the kitchen and drank a cold glass of water, knowing that it was a better shot at waking him up. Splashing his face with water as well, he then went back to his bedroom to see Sara. Crawling back on the bed, he laid back next to her, nuzzling his head against her neck. “Hey,” he said quietly, picking his head up to look at her, trying to distract her from the TV. “I’m gonna feel pretty lame if I spend the rest of the night falling asleep,” he told her. “Why don’t we do something?”
