A/N: There will be several time and location jumps forthcoming in the next few chapters as I'm looking towards finishing this story out very soon.

(Abby has completed the move to Manchester City and Sarah has followed her to England. Also, Tanner has left his position in Paris and moved in with them.)

Sarah smiles as she feels arms wrap around her from behind.

"Can I help you?"

Abby chuckles, "Maybe."

Sarah turns around and they share a kiss and hug before being interrupted by Tanner dropping a box very loudly on the floor behind them.

"Aww, look at the two of you being all lovey, dovey when there's still like a million boxes needing to be brought up and unpacked. You're not paying me enough to deal with all your crap!"

Sarah chuckles, "So, the free roof over your head isn't payment enough?"

"Well ..."

"I'd choose your words carefully there, Tanman; I've still got time to make that second bedroom into a studio rather than harbouring your out of work ass."

Tanner looks at them, "I do appreciate you letting me move in with the two of you and I promise it's only going to be for a temporary time."

"Tan, there's no time limit on the offer. Abby's going to starting training and travelling soon with her new team and I'm going to be on my own quite a bit, I'm going to need a friend to hang and do things with and also, once word gets out that I'm in England, I might need to call upon you to act as a bodyguard and or buffer."

"Now, the truth comes out; you only want me for my body!"

Sarah rolls her eyes and smiles, "Accurate, because, right now your body is supposed to be moving boxes for us."

"I've put in much less work and gotten a lot more action ...."

"Tanner, shut up and grab the last boxes, please!"

"Only because, I love your wife."

Abby chuckles, "Love you too, Tan."

As Tanner heads back out to collect more boxes from the lift, Abby and Sarah get back on task and start unpacking their new apartment.

Tanner plops down beside the couple, "I don't know about the two of you, but I'm starving; what's for supper?"

"Ummm, Abs, we'd better call up Sammy and see if she's got some recommendations for delivery because I don't think last night's leftovers are going to cut it."

Abby smiles and nods, "I'm assuming the plan for tomorrow is to get some real food in the house, right?"

Sarah nods, "I'm just looking forward to being able to walk around and get some fresh air. As much as I love you and Tan, being stuck in an apartment with y'all for the last two weeks hasn't been easy, especially considering the fact that I've only had my guitar and laptop to work with."

"Now, you got everything you need to get back to working on some fresh songs."

Sarah smiles at Abby, "I've had my muse and plenty of ideas; just haven't been able to get them out of my head onto paper or the screen. Not to mention the walls are paper thin and someone snores loud enough to keep the entire floor awake."

Tanner looks at both of them, "I'm not the only one who's loud in bed. Next time you either invite me to join, upgrade my Big Dick Energy subscription or buy me some noise cancelling headphones."

Sarah chuckles, "First off, Big Dick Energy? Do they really have big ones or all they all compensating for their shortcomings? Cause, I do appreciate a big one every now and again. Secondly, I'll order you headphones, because there's no way in hell that you're joining us; my wife's amazing body is all mine."
