179 Caught At A Vulnerable Moment

It was a miracle they made it back to her apartment in one piece after that. Juliet's nerves were so frazzled that she collapsed onto the couch the moment they arrived. Rukelion didn't have any issues with timing the lights but there were a couple of close calls at four-way stops. Then again when they got to her apartment complex and he almost backed into a kid while trying to correct his parking job. 

She sent a silent, fervent apology to her mother into the void for making her go through that. She ought to buy her something extra good next Mother's Day. Maybe one of those giant fruit bouquets. 

Exhausted and still dealing with her racing heart, Juliet fervently hoped tomorrow would be less eventful. It would be Rukelion's first day at work and everything should be ready to go so all he needed to do was follow directions. He excelled at that.
