Oh, this is gonna be a gas!

Goodbye

Thank you so much for 2k!! It means so much! I love all of you!❤️

Lizzie walked upstairs to see her wife sitting on the bedroom floor sorting and folding clothes.

"Whatcha up to babe?"

"Packing for London."

Lizzie frowned "How am I supposed to go without you?"

Jo rolled her eyes "Honey it will only be a month."

"A MONTH!" Jo cringed, she guessed she forgot to tell her wife they lengthened her stay in the states. Oh, she was in trouble. "Josephine Olsen! When did you plan on telling your WIFE that your two-week stay turned into a four-week stay?"

"In my defense-"

"Oh, this should be good. Do tell me, Josephine."

Jo cringed again. Josephine back to back was never good. "Honey I haven't told you because I just learned the other day. They wanted me to stay through the end of the Falcon Winter Soldier but I told them to no." Lizzie sank down beside her wife. Jo pulled her wife into her lap "Baby I don't want to leave you for a month either. You have to believe me when I tell you I fought to go with you."

"Oh, baby I always believe you. We just haven't been apart that long since we were engaged." This is true. The longest the two had ever been apart since tying the knot was three weeks and that was utter torture for the women.

"You know what they say?"

"That life sucks sometimes." Lizzie huffed

Jo laughed gently poking her wife "No silly. Absence makes the heart grow fonder."

"You don't think I'm fond of you?" Lizzie asked in mocking horror

"Oh, I know how fond you are," Jo said

"Get to the point babe."

"The point is... we get to find more cr-creative ways to stay connected." Lizzie blushed and Jo slapped her arm lightly "Not that you perv."

Lizzie threw her hands up in surrender "How was I supposed to know?"

"For someone who has a Disney princess complex you sure have your head up a gutter."

"Only for you." Lizzie laughed leaning in to kiss Jo.

The two worked in comfortable silence for the rest of the day working to pack what they needed for London. They own their LA home and are renting it out to a friend while they are in London. The friend has agreed to stay in the guestroom so their master is not disturbed. Lizzie stood at the bed yelling "Jo!"

Jos' strong steps could be heard up the stairs and down the hall before they finally slowed at the door frame "What's up babe?"

"Can you help me pack my kitchen knives?"

Jo laughed "Scoot over." She laughed at the knives laid out and butcher block on their bed. She started pointing and counting them.

Lizzie asked "Whatcha doooin?"

"Making sure we have all of them before I start packing."

"You afraid I hid one?"

"Well, you aren't exactly happy with me right now." Jo laughed

Lizzie laughed "You watch too much TV."

"Are you taking those, those thick sweaters?"

"The one with the?" Lizzie started gesturing to her neckline
