It was weird to wake up and not have Christian there with breakfast and some morning conversation. This realization kind of scared Penny. Even going to sleep without him there made her a little nervous and on edge all night. She eventually went to sleep and didn't have any dreams, but Penny decided that if she could have Christian nearby in the future, she would. She hoped it would get getter the longer they spent time together, but only time would tell. 

The drive to Luke's house was uneventful, besides the cow that tried to cross the road and made her stop halfway over, but she had made it safely. Luke lived in a modest house on a small farm. While the lifestyle seemed pleasant and simple, it wasn't for Penny. She liked the city and the noise. A beat up car with it's hood popped, sat elevated in the dirt driveway. As Penny pulled up, she saw Christian off to the side and she gave him a wave, slightly jealous of his teleportation abilities. Man, how convenient that would be. 

He opened the car door for her just as she parked and she jumped out of her seat and wrapped her arms around her friend. [color=f49ac2]"It was pretty uneventful. How was work?"[/color] She pulled away just as she heard footsteps a few feet feet away. Luke walked down his porch with a beer in hand and waved in greeting.

"Penny! Glad you made it!" He walked up to them and went in for a hug. It was awkward and just one armed, but Penny preferred it that way. She wasn't too close with Luke and believe it or not, hugging wasn't really her forte. Christian seemed to be an exception, Penny noted. "I'm Luke. It's nice to meet you...?" He held his hand out for Christian to shake.
