"Huh, that's weird?" Leslie said as she was sitting on the couch with Rick looking at her phone.
"What's up?"
"I haven't heard from Nat all day, even Billy hasn't texted me back either?"
"Maybe they finally hooked up," Rick said with a chuckle.
"Really?" Leslie said, raising an eyebrow.
"What? I wouldn't be surprised, they way they are around each other is so obvious."
"Yeah, but Billy just got dumped, so I don't see him hooking up with Nat right now."
"Maybe it's the perfect time. I mean, I never really liked Kaitlyn anyway."
"Yeah, I was never really a fan either, but he liked her for......... some reason."
"I can think of two," he said, holding his hands in front of his chest, commenting on her breast size.
"You pig," she said with a smile. "I dunno, with everything going on, it just bothers me a little that I can't get a hold of either of them."
"If you want, we can go and check? Maybe grab some of your stuff, too?"
"I'll go. You have to get to work, remember?"
"Oh shit, is it that late already?" Hey said, looking at his phone. "I can call in and go with you?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine. I'll go grab a few things, and I'll be here when you get home tonight, okay? I promise!"
"Sounds good," he said, giving her a kiss. "I love you."
"Hold that thought; you haven't lived with me yet," she said with a chuckle.
"I'm looking forward to it though, just the two of us, not having to worry about your parents or your brother."
"It sounds so good," she said, kissing him again a little more passionately. "Shit, I need to stop before I start taking your pants off," she said, giving him one more kiss.
"Well, that's not a very convincing argument, but I get it," Rick said as she finally pulled away from him.
"We'll finish this later," she said before grabbing her purse and heading for the door.

Natalie landed in the back yard, folding up her wings and returning to normal. "Dammit!" She screamed into the air as tears streamed down her face as she thought about had just happened to Billy a little while ago. "I finally........... I can't do this," she said before taking a moment to pull herself together. "I need to let him go, along with everyone else."
She headed for the back door, stepping inside, grabbing some clothes from the laundry room before entering the kitchen. She saw Tina standing in there, enjoying a drink before she glanced over at Natalie and smiled.
"Hello, my Queen," she said before sipping her drink again.
"I trust you had a productive day?"
"Very," she said before glancing over into the dining room as Nat noticed the corpse lying on the floor. "With the cops searching the woods, I didn't want to put him out there yet."
"Good thinking, we'll have to be more careful before someone figured out what's going on," she said with a look of concern on her face.
"Is everything alright, my Queen?"
