I finish closing my suitcase. I jammed everything in there. I quickly put on some light makeup and slid in my leggings and Dans galaxy sweater. I put on my purple toms and put my hair up. I didn't even bother with contacts today.

Dan is going with me to LA. I'm so grateful to have him there. I don't like funerals. They are for the living, not the dead.

We are spending a full week in LA. I'm happy to see some of the family I haven't seen in a while, but I'm sad because what it took to bring us together, was tragic.

I pull my suitcase into the living room and sit on the couch next to Phil.

"Are you going to be okay this week, Phil?" I ask.

He laughs. "I think I'll survive. Remember to leave food and water in my bowl." I laugh.

Dan enters the room in some comfy clothes. "Ready?" he asks. I nod and Phil and I stand up. I hug him tightly and then Dan and Phil hug.

I'm so grateful to have them.

We hear the taxi honk and we say our goodbyes. Dan loads our stuff in the trunk. We both get in the back and Dan rolls down the window.

"NO CATS OR HAMSTERS!" Phil gives him a pouty face and we laugh. I watch as Phil gets smaller and smaller until I can no longer see him.

I lean into Dan. "What time is it?" I yawn.

He unlocks his phone. "7 am. We'll get to the airport at 7:30 and board at 8:00 then take off at 8:20." He looks at me and I can barley pay attention to him. "You can sleep." At that I close my eyes and fall asleep.

Dan wakes me up when we get there. The taxi driver take out our bags and Dan pays him. We walk into the airport and check in.

I look over and see a woman struggling with her two children running around. She holds an infant. I walk over to her.

"Ma'am? Would you like some help?" I ask.

"Yes, if you don't mind." She hands me the infant and runs over to her children.

"Well aren't you adorable." I make silly faces and the baby girl laughs. Her smile is brighter than the sun. I bounce her a little when Dan walks over.

"You like babies, I see." He says.

"Well, all children." I reply. "Don't you?" I ask.

"Yes, I love children. I want some of my own."

"Good because I do."

"Good?"

Shit. "No no no that's not what I meant! I mean if we got married one day maybe that would be cool." He raises his eyebrows. "No no I mean, ugh. I give up." The little girl laughs at me.

Dan bops her nose and she giggles. We play with her until her mother comes back with her other two kids. I hand the beautiful should over to her mother.

"What's her name?" I ask.

"Rosemary, and thank you so much. Your a life savor!"

"No problem!"

We part our ways and Dan and I make out way up the escalator. We get to gate u105 before it's done loading and get in our seats. After we take off, I lean on his shoulder and close my eyes.
