[hr][sub][b]Tuesday Evening:[/b] Mount Atlas with Leo. [@CaptainSully] ❤ Mentions of #Betterlatethanpregnant [@Pilatus][@Rodiak][@RoccanIronclad] & Marcus [@Zaxter996][/sub][hr][/center]Thursday had been an adventure, or a misadventure depending on how you felt about the situation. What happened in between running over Aoki and escaping the police with Paige and meeting Milo didn't matter as much as the comfort of slipping into a real bed that night. However, she would never forget those people for the rest of her life. Dustynn took the opportunity of her mom not being home to sleep in the midst of a real bedroom in her trailer home. The days went by as things slipped back into [i]normal[/i] for the most part. The average work day came and went, Dustynn even found the sweatshirt in lost and found that she had begged Leo to keep safe. 

Marcus had not been sacrificed for the greater good, and for that Dustynn was also thankful. 

Tuesday however had been the day she had been waiting for. Leo had promised her that due to the storm clearing up that they would make tonight their night. Come hell or high water he would make it happen. Dawning a revealing but mature maroon low cut long sleeve shirt, black skinny jeans, black winter boots and her heavier leather jacket Dusty arrived at work and hustled away her entire shift.

Before leaving Club Aether, Dustynn went into the ladies room and dawned some dark maroon lipstick. Looking into the mirror she hoped it wasn't too dramatic, just a little fun for the trip to Mount Atlas, a place she had never stepped foot on. She dabbed at her lips with crumbled up paper towel to lessen the dramatics leaving a bit of color on her lips, but not as much as the first application. Waving to Marcus she winked at her co-worker friend. [color=fe697b][b]"Be good!"[/b][/color] she called, leaving the establishment.

Hopping in Leo's car she put on her seat belt, the winter sun set long ago as they made a long trek up to the observation area. She didn't care if it had taken hours upon hours to reach the spot, she was just happy to be talking and enjoying her time with Leo without a customer grabbing for her attention. Dustynn played a softer rock station, and when the service became fuzzy she flipped the channels to any song she could sing to, sometimes even a playful duet.

[color=fe697b][b]"They'll see Steve's record and not bat an eye. Good people always get fucked over, and the people that need to be locked up forever are out strolling around and hitting people with bottles."[/b][/color] Dusty commented, about their coworker. She hoped Steve would be fine, as well as the other men she worked with- but knowing that the law wasn't always on her side she could only just hope for the best.

[color=fe697b][b]"[i]Fuck.[/i]"[/b][/color] 

Dustynn said to herself as she remembered she had forgotten that today was the day her own mother was meant to make bail and be sent home. She hurriedly muted all notifications for her phone in case the woman would start to call and harass her. She could find her way home, she was a grown woman after all. A ping sat low in her stomach though, checking her messages real quick to see if an attempt had been made to reach her at all, yielding no results. 

Reaching the observatory Dustynn was in awe. She couldn't wait to scramble outside of the car to take in the fresh air and really take in the site in front of her. [color=fe697b][b]"Holy shit this is amazing."[/b][/color] Dustynn said, almost sheepishly as the words came from her mouth. It wasn't very lady like, but it was true. Turning to Leo, his head adorned with a Santa hat- Dustynn couldn't help but grin. [color=fe697b][b]"Oh Santa! I've been good this year, I promise."[/b][/color] she claimed with a laugh, leaning in and giving him a tender kiss upon his lips. Words could not express how appreciative she was of Leo, and no matter what happened between them she would appreciate and remember this moment for years and years to come. Pulling away from the kiss she answered his question [color=fe697b][b]"It's great. Let's take a look at the telescope first, and then we can walk around until we're frozen."[/b][/color] she interlaced her hands with his as they walked towards the building.

Dustynn had never been considered book smart. Clever and charming on occasion but never smart. The telescope was daunting when first seen, but became easy to understand as the head scientist enthusiastically talked about his treasured machinery as well as where to look to see what in Sol's night sky. Several times Dusty's dark eyes widened in excitement, looking to Leo to share in these new experiences. 

After awhile the two traveled outside, [color=fe697b][b]"That was so..cool."[/b][/color] Dustynn admitted, to Leo- she never thought this type of thing would be fun without getting drunk or high first but here she was enjoying it just fine. Though, she could use a cigarette she pushed away the craving and began to walk around the area with Leo, close enough to feed off one another's warmth.
