As soon as we're alone again, I remove all the Unknown Elation merch from my bed. Instead of wasting time folding it and neatly putting everything away, I just end up dumping it on the chair and desk. I don't need to look at my watch to confirm we barely have enough time together to finish the movie. Once the bed is free, I get my laptop and place it at the end. Eric sits up at the head of the bed, leaning against the wall. After starting the movie, I crawl between his legs and lean against him. As the movie plays, I’m beginning to feel incredibly emotional, and I know it's because he will be leaving soon.

"When will I see you again?" My words are nothing but a whisper.

Eric keeps stroking my hair, and I can only assume his silence is due to him thinking it through. "What about Christmas? That's only four days away, baby." I stiffen since I already know they’re on tour over Christmas, so that doesn't make any sense.

"Rina told me you’re touring over Christmas, and I already said I can’t leave this place yet." I know I sound like a sullen brat.

"Leave it to me, baby, and I’ll work something out. All you need to know right now is that I’ll be here come hell or high water." Eric says and places a soft kiss on the top of my head. I don't say anything else, not wanting to ruin the moment with logistics. But I mentally tell myself not to get my hopes up.

At least I know I'll see him on New Year's Eve, which is only eleven days away. I can do that. Trying and failing once more at watching the movie, I ask where they're traveling and how many shows they’ll be playing. Apparently, they're going to Europe and playing eight concerts in ten days. The only night they aren't playing is Christmas Eve and Day. He’s going to fly out right after their concert on December twenty-third to be with me on both days, before flying back out again in the evening. I want to tell him that this is crazy, that he needs time to rest, and he should be with the others. But I can't bring myself to even say it. I’m selfish enough to want him to come and see me.

"Baby, will you consider going somewhere with me when I come back? Just for the day, you can come back here in the evening if you want to, or we can spend the night together as well. Whatever you prefer."

"Where do you want us to go?" I’m beyond intrigued, and yeah, hesitant.

Eric won't tell me where we're going or what we're doing, he wants to keep it a surprise. "You should only agree if you feel comfortable with it, though. But if you do want to, I have something I really want to show you." I promise to consider it, and I mentally add it to the list of things I need to talk with Julian about in our next session.
