Desert Outside Roswell, Monday night till early Tuesday morning

[izzyalienqueen]

There were a million different things that still needed to be done in order to get ready for the wedding and Isabel should probably still be in Neptune to take care of them.

But it was the night of the best meteor shower of the year. And more importantly, it was time spent alone with Wyatt. Between his getting settled in San Francisco and her

"Wouldn't miss it," Wyatt grinned, finding a spot to spread the blankets on the ground.

"Me, too," Wyatt said. "Especially right here, right now."

"It'll be even nicer once we're all set up," Isabel pointed out. "Of course then we'll have to think of something to do to pass the time until the moon sets."

"I guess that means letting you go," Wyatt sighed, stepping back. "But not for long."

[izzyalienqueen]

"No. Not long at all." She had to agree, she'd missed him a lot the last few weeks. "So you're settling in okay?"

"Yeah, Grandpa's glad to have someone around the house to tell what to do," Wyatt grinned. "He's had to do all the chores by himself."

[izzyalienqueen]

"The horrors," Isabel exclaimed, grabbing the bag with the marshmallows and chocolate from the back of the car. "You have to do dishes and clean up after yourself?"

"It's absolutely awful," Wyatt said solemnly, unloading the tinder and firewood from the car. He made a ring of stones and started to set up a good fire.

"I think I'm going to have to thank your grandfather's for you getting you trained," she teased.

"It was touch and go for awhile," Wyatt said. "Like the time when I was 14 and put all the whites in the washing machine with a red shirt mixed in."

[izzyalienqueen]

"And let me guess, you used hot water?" Isabel sat down on the sleeping bags and leaned back as she watched Wyatt set up the fire.

Yes, she contentedly was admiring the view.

"Ooops," Wyatt said, making a neat pyramid out of the firewood. Why, yes, he had been a boy scout.

[izzyalienqueen]

"I bet you looked just adorable in pink."

"You know," she said, raising an eyebrow, "the longer you fuss with making sure the fire's just perfect, the longer you're not over here."

[blessed_twice]

"Good point," Wyatt said, leaving the fire to decide its own fate and dropping down on the sleeping bags beside Isabel.

[izzyalienqueen]

"I'm smart like that." Wiggling across the nylon of the sleeping bag, Isabel moved till she was leaning against Wyatt's side. "If I was still in Neptune at this point I'd probably be doing battle with the glue gun trying to get some decorations done. This is a better way to spend the evening."

[blessed_twice]

"Much better," Wyatt agreed, wrapping his arm around Isabel. "I'm more snuggly than a hot glue gun."
