Connor tried very hard to occupy himself. Taking advantage of the fact of being alone, and having a few hours, he took his four hours sleep then, deciding he might as well get it done, after of course, checking on Bessie, ringing up the stable and asking how she was. 

He still felt guilty about leaving her there, but didn't know what he could do. The stable hand told him that Bessie seemed okay. She was eating, and had enjoyed time outside, so that was something. He sighed, and crawled under the covers, falling asleep. he woke twenty minutes to midnight, and packed up his laptop, and waited for Elizabeth to return. 

When she did, he stood, shouldering his laptop, and looked over, a bit shocked at her appearance change. "um. Wow, you did that when you were out? Alright then. Come on, lets get going" he said, starting out to the car, putting his laptop in it, and laying out his drinks and snacks in easy reach, before sliding into the drivers seat, consulting the mapt for a minute or two, before buckling in.
