Katia Corriveau & [color=18B615]Tanner Palmer[/color]
Location: Katia’s Frontporch, Tanner's car, School Parking Lot

Katia waved at Tanner as he approached. She didn’t see her aunt’s car in the drive way. She immediately assumed her aunt was out late with work, it most likely wasn’t work but another in a long line of ‘boyfriends’ but Katia always assumed she stayed late at the office working on a case and fell asleep on her office sofa, which did happen on occasion.

“Tanny!” The one thing she liked most about Tanner after the fact he never pushed to go farther than she was comfortable with was his car. She came up with the nickname Tanny from Tanner’s sister. She would never refer to him as that in front of Tabby. She ran to him and gave him a hug. She could smell the bacon on his breath. “I hope you brought me some. You know auntie doesn’t allow meat in the house ever since she decided we had to go vegan. Eugh!”

Tanner thought Katia looked really beautiful, and he wished he could feel attracted to her. He really did. He wanted to be able to actually love her, yet here he was, leading her on. He immediately hugged her back, momentarily burying his face into her hair, a little bit of comfort he didn't deserve. He laughed at what she said, pulling back to look at her. "[color=18B615]I'm sorry, I didn't get any extra. We can stop somewhere and get you breakfast to eat on the way, if you want,[/color]" he said, and had to resist laughing. "[color=18B615]How long is this vegan phase going to last, I wonder? I'll have to start sneaking you meat now,[/color]" he took her hand, beginning to lead her to the car. 

“Maybe three more weeks. She purged all the meat last weekend including chicken sandwich I was eating. Got breakfast.” she held up her breakfast. “It’s what I normally have.” She opened the diet drink and began to drank it.

"[color=18B615]Right, right,[/color]" Tanner said, starting up the car, and throwing her a smile. "[color=18B615]So, for three weeks, you can come over to my house and have dinner.[/color]" he began to pull onto the street, and playfully waggled his finger at her, "[color=18B615]Remember, if you spill anything in this beaut, you clean it up![/color]" he was joking, of course. It was leather seats, they wouldn't get hurt too bad. He heard his cell phone beep with a text message, though he'd have to wait until he got to the school to check it. He didn't make texting and driving a habit.

"I would love to but your mother always makes it awkward. Besides with the credit card auntie gave me I can buy whatever I need or want. She never looks at the bill and if she ever does, and sees a burger joint on there I can just point out they have a salad option. Not lying if I don't say I ordered one and just let her assume that." She took a swig from the drink she brought.

Even if Tanner disagreed with Katia about the lying, he couldn't say anything, anyway. After all, he was lying to her in a huge way. "[color=18B615]Yeah, Mom is...[/color]" he sighed, pulling into the school parking lot. After he parked and shut the car off, he turned to Katia. "[color=18B615]She means well, Kat. I [i]would[/i] love for you to come over one day, but I get it if you feel too uncomfortable,[/color]" he told her, reaching over to squeeze her knee with a kind smile directed at her before he was getting out. He slung his backpack on, grabbing his bottle, before checking his phone. He laughed at the text message from Domi. "[color=18B615]Your head cheerleader is something else,[/color]" he said to Katia, shaking his head as he quickly typed back, [i][color=18B615]patience is a virtue, domi ;D[/color][/i]
