She is headed to Canada, worn out from the amazing night before. Her head is still spinning, having just hung up the phone from his amazing voice. The drive was long, she decided to stop in Mauston, WI at about 4 that afternoon to rest. She just could not go any further.
She got a motel room and immediately undressed and fell asleep. After sleeping a few hours she awoke, made a couple calls to check in with her family and the friend in Canada and then went back to sleep. She slept awhile longer and got up about 10pm, she decided she was not going to go to Canada that she would just head home the next day, maybe take a few days to herself before she made it home. She went back to sleep and slept the rest of the night, waking up at 10:30 the next morning, just enough time to shower, pack and check out.
She headed towards home, every intention of going home down through Illinois stop somewhere along the way and then go the rest of the way. She called his cell phone and left a message, letting him know Canada was out and that she would be headed home instead. After going through Chicago the thought hit her to go to him. She wasn't sure what to do. She hit Gary, IN and knew that one would take her home, the other would take her to OH. Something told her to go, take the route to OH, let fate lead. So she did.
She hit the other side of Indianapolis, and as she approached the sign that said Columbus 169 miles, her phone went off with a message from him. Fate involved again. He had sent, "Where are you?" She sent, "It doesn't matter." They bantered back and forth a bit, and as she was crossing into OH, he sent, "If you are coming here, let me know."
How does this fate thing continue to work with them. She tells him that she is headed there, will stop in Dayton, if he wants her to come all the way to tell her. He says it is her decision. This goes back and forth a few times and then she realizes he is not saying no. She sends, "Fate says yes, I will be there in the morning."
He tells her where to get a motel and to call the cell when she knows where she is staying. She says she will and the line is disconnected.
She stays at a motel in Dayton, anxious about the next day, she doesn't sleep very well. She is up and out of there by 5am, not realizing she will not be able to get in a room for a few hours. As she gets closer to her destination she becomes nervous, knowing that she is getting closer and closer to him. She finds a decent exit and gets off the highway, the thought is if she goes cheap on the motel that she can stay a few extra days if he wants her to.
She finds a motel that will do, finds out it will be a few hours so she goes to McDonalds and waits. She starts to write about their first experience. Not knowing why but feeling it needs to be put to paper, to be shared. She is writing it for him, so that he will know her full view of what occurred.
She gets quite a bit of it down and then realizes it is probably time that she could check in. She leaves and heads back to the motel. They tell her it will be about 30 minutes or so. She waits in the van. The clerk comes out and lets her know it is ready and her phone rings. It is him, asking about the arrangements, if she is settled in. She says that she is just headed up to the room. He tells her that she has about 30 minutes and he will be there. Her heart skips a beat and she becomes wet at the thought of him being near her again. She acts calm and says ok.
She rushes to prepare for him, and watches out the window awaiting his arrival. She sees his car drive through the parking lot and gets more anxious. He knocks on the door, she stands behind it and opens it for him. As he comes in she remains back just a bit, closing the door behind him. He sits on the bed, she teases with him and pushes him back, laying on top of him. She kisses him a few times and can tell that there is something on his mind. He finally says that he needs to talk to her about something.
