21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

Arthur | Inception | OTA

[inyourdreams]

The day after everything had happened with Alexander, they finished packing up and checked out of the hotel before starting down to New Orleans. Arthur thought it best to not go home just yet.

She sat in the passenger's seat quietly as Savannah disappeared into long stretches of flat highway dotted with truck stop billboards and abandoned vehicles on the side of the road.

[dontthinkabout]

Arthur would glance at her from time to time, gauging her reaction to everything. She seemed distant after what happened and Arthur understood that, though he didn't have the same reaction she did. It was all just another job - one that had to be done.

[inyourdreams]

That was part of what she couldn't understand, how he could distance himself from the things he did. How it didn't weigh him down and crush him. She hadn't even done anything and she felt somehow responsible. Alexander had been crazy, but he was still a person. And maybe it was that insanity and the fact that he really believed he was saving her, that made it feel worse somehow.

[dontthinkabout]

It was either them or Alexander. Arthur would always choose them.

After a few hours, Arthur stopped to refill the gas tank.

[inyourdreams]

"I'm going to go use the bathroom," she said as she got out of the car. "Do you want anything from inside?"

[dontthinkabout]

"Can you get me some coffee?" He asked as he went around to fill the gas tank.

[inyourdreams]

"Sure," she said before walking inside. She used the bathroom and then bought them both some coffee and got herself a granola bar and some Twizzlers. She came out 5 minutes later and got back into the car, putting his coffee into his cup holder.

[dontthinkabout]

After he finished with the gas, he went inside to use the restroom before coming back out and getting in. He drank some of his coffee before starting the car and going on their way. The drive was around eleven to twelve hours if they only stopped for food, gas, and restroom breaks.

[inyourdreams]

"Let me know if you want me to take over for a while," she said in between bites of her granola bar.

[dontthinkabout]

"I think I'll be good for a few more hours," he replied.

[inyourdreams]

"Okay," she said. "Just let me know."

She focused back out the window.

[dontthinkabout]

"Alright," he replied and focused on the road.

[inyourdreams]

She was quiet, just watching the scenery, half of her granola bar still uneaten in her hand.

[dontthinkabout]

"Mind if I eat the rest of that?" He asked, glancing down at the bar.

[inyourdreams]

She shook her head and handed it to him.

"I have some Twizzlers too," she said.

[dontthinkabout]

"I'll never understand why you like those things," he said before biting into his granola bar.

[inyourdreams]

She shrugged.

"And I'll never understand why you don't," she said.

[dontthinkabout]

He sighed. So much for making light conversation.

[inyourdreams]

She didn't mean for it to sound snippy, but she can tell he took it that way.

[dontthinkabout]

"You can sleep if you want," he said after a moment.

[inyourdreams]

She nodded. She hadn't really gotten much sleep the night before but she wasn't really tired enough right then to fall asleep in the car.

[dontthinkabout]

After a few more hours of driving, they stopped at a diner to eat a late lunch.

[inyourdreams]

She ordered a tuna melt but mostly just picked at it.

[dontthinkabout]

He had ordered the same and ate most of it. "Wanna switch off now?"
