Rm 508, Friday morning.
Annette was packing. And she had tons of stuff to pack. Mostly she was carefully putting her things into boxes and she would let her parents take them back with them after graduation. But everything coming down off her walls and shelves, well, it was a touch sad. Two school terms here had her accumulating a lot of stuff, probably more than she ever needed. It was hers though, dammit, and it was all coming with her.
Except she wasn't going home after graduation. She was backpacking through Europe and she had been desperately trying to figure out a way to tell her parents. Maybe she could tell them it was a summer project for school. Yeah, that might work Hm. Maybe she wouldn't say anything yet until they called to find out where she was. And maybe she would be in Rome by then. Hm.
Angel curled up against her legs and smiling, Annette bent over to pick her up. "I'm going to miss you, but you get to go home with my parents and they will take very good care of you. They have this great big house for you to have all sorts of fun in."
Sighing and getting back to her task at hand, Annette idly wondered out loud, "What exactly does one take on a backpacking excursion?"
[It can be open, yes, but it will be SP from me until later this afternoon.]
