Chapter Five

Travis

And just like that Falkanar had been here for fifteen days. Fifteen, I had to admit, wonderful days. It felt more than ever like we were a couple at the tree lighting ceremony. A dozen people must have come up and said we looked cute together or congratulated us. Eric from Picture Purrfect had his camera and directed us into a couple of poses that clearly indicated he thought we were together. On more than one occasion I was handed a cookie or sample and told and “Here's one for your boyfriend.” And yet neither one of us seemed to want to correct the assumptions. I felt strangely at peace with the idea that people thought we were a good couple. I kind of liked it. By the end of the day, even though we didn't actually discuss it, we were holding hands as we walked around, taking in the sights.

And in the days that followed we settled into a comfortable routine. I had a project deadline coming up, so I would write while Falkanar either took the opportunity to go around town and see some of the people he had been missing or, more often than not, join me to work on his blog. We had tea most days with Traviel and Elarian.

The night we shared in the guest bedroom was the last night he spent there. I honestly still don't know how it happened. But after dinner the day of the tree lighting ceremony he ended up in my bedroom. We had sex again. And he fell asleep there and had been there every night since.

I liked it better when we were sitting at home writing together, as opposed to him leaving. Part of it was because I simply enjoyed his company, even though we were both working on completely different things. Another part of me, I think, was increasingly paranoid that he would use being out of the house as an excuse to slip away and leave Vale Valley. On more than one occasion I stuck my head into the guest bedroom just to make sure his bag was still there. I kept telling myself he would never leave without saying goodbye. And yet if it were me, in his place, I kind of felt like slipping out without a last farewell was exactly the kind of thing that I would want to do, if only to avoid having to say it.

Now, on day fifteen, I was more afraid than ever that I was about to lose him. Two weeks was roughly the most that a wandering elf stayed in one place. And now that we were past that, I was sure he would feel the need to move on any day now. I also knew he'd be powerless to fight it. I was so worked up about it, I found that I couldn't write and decided to head across the street and solicit some advice from Traviel and Elarian.

They were happy to pour me tea. And after Elarian went to take Kirielm upstairs for nap, I turned to Traviel and cleared my throat.
