Packing Away Old Memories (Anyone)

Rai smiled. "Thanks for both."

Antony pulled up and knocked on the door.

"You're welcome." Elle said, going to answer the door.

Antony grinned. "Hey Elle. So I'm here to help but if I get attacked by clothes I am not responsible for my actions."

"Your actions? Hurt my clothes and I'll hurt you." Elle said, stepping aside to let him in.

"She will!" Rai yelled from the kitchen.

Antony laughed and hugged Elle. All the girls had become like sisters to him.

Elle chuckled as he hugged Antony back.

He let her go.

"There's food in the kitchen." Elle said.

"Yum."

Elle chuckled as she walked into the kitchen.

Antony took off his jacket revealing a holster.

Rai looked at him. "Just come off the job?" "Yep."

"You didn't have to come. I'm sure you're tired." Elle said.

"Nope I'm good." Antony said with a smile.

"You sure." Elle said.

"Absolutely." Antony said as he sat down to eat.

"Alright." Elle said, sliding him a plate of food.

"Thanks Elle." Antony said with a smile.

Rai started to eat.

"You're very welcome." Elle said.

Antony started to eat.

Rai looked up.

"What?" Elle asked, starting to eat.

Rai looked at Antony and leaned over. She sniffed his clothes. "You started smoking!"

"Antony! That's horrible." Elle said.

"I'm sorry." Antony said with a sigh.

"Why did you start?" Elle asked.

"Just trying to cope being out of the military."
