The first time Angus kissed me since I went back in time again was unexpected. He had cut me off mid sentence and was overall out of the blue. This time, he was practically asking for it.

He wrapped his arms around me and just went for it. I kissed back at first then remembered this wasn't right in the least and pulled away. "And you say I've got a mouth?" He chuckled.

"You do."

"Did you really think that was a good idea?"

"At the time yes."

"Five times Angus. You're only making this harder on yourself."

"I know, I know. I gotta stop. From now on, no more kissing you."

"You sure?"

"Sure."

"Promise?"

"Promise." I held my pinky up to him. He locked his with mine. "Satisfied?"

"I'll believe it when I see it." We resumed getting our luggage out of the car. "I'm sorry I 'mouthed off'."

"I'm sorry I called you out. Just wanted to get you as mad as you did to me. Kinda childish huh?"

"Yeah, real mature. Besides, that's what you get for putting moves on me."

"Well sor-ry for liking you so much."

"You should be." I gave a single firm head nod making him laugh. "I like you too." We pulled our stuff into the house. Ellen didn't seem like she'd seen what had happened but she'd have to know soon enough. Better we tell her than someone else. But not now, we just got home.

"You can sleep in our guest room Hannah since you're staying here," Ellen said.

"Thank you," I said heading up the stairs. It was a humble house, not big, but enough room for at least seven people.

"So how'd you come back? I mean, you just-showed up?"

"Yeah, landed myself an apartment but lost it that week. Angus took me in."

"Such a gentleman," she smiled and rolled her eyes. "Got yourselves into trouble along the way?"

"A lot." She laughed.

"I'll bet. Angus called me a while earlier still in America everything that happened." I froze in my spot.

"...everything?"

"Yeah, the Salt Lake concert, you know. Uh, Mason Wanson?"

"Oh, oh yeah. That. Well his name was Mike and he was a pain in the ass."

"Heard he tried to do you one in?"

"Me. And another girl." I opened my suitcase to put my stuff away. Probably shouldn't have, I could leave any time and lose all my stuff. "Sent him to the hospital."

"Oh, nice! Yeah Angus said you took care of him but didn't go into much detail. Never does."

"Did he, tell you anything else?"

"Why would he?"

"I just mean about the trip in general."

"No, not really." Of course not.

"Figures, not much else anyway," I lied. Oh no, what am I doing?

"Hmm. Mike still at the hospital?"

"Not sure. Hopefully in prison right now. Unrelated charges." Ellen shook her head.

"Damned people sometimes. Liars, phonies, no good." Greeaaaat, now how will I tell her? Ellen turned to leave but stopped short. "You know I-I bet Angus was, really happy to see you again. You know he, talks about you all the time. I've never seen him care so much about a friend." Oh geez.

"R-really?" I asked. She nodded.

"He's usually not too open about his feelings you know."

"So I've heard."

"But you're back again. You're back again! Welcome back!" she smiled.

"Thank you, thank you," I said bowing a little. She left me to unpack and I made a mental note to have a chat with Angus later.
