Penelope smiled a little as he got closer, she did the same ever so slightly. "Oh Eli, it's okay, I'm safe and that's all that matters right now. You did you very best and I'm so so thankful for that." She assured him.

"Okay……that doesn't change the fact that I'm still sorry though!"
He says with a smile, ruffling her hair. Soon Harley comes out, a worried/panicked look on her face.
"Hey, I need to go. Can i steal your car? Nice thanks, bye!"
She says writing out a check and leaving a tip hurriedly not even waiting for Elijah's answer, she was out the door.
"Wait what??"

Penelope watched that unfold with confusion on her face. "What just happened..?" She looked at the door that Harley had exited from. "How far away are we from your house? We're probably going to have to walk right?"

"Uh…….not very far. This isn't a very big town, though a decent size. Nothing like the other huge cities though. Oh, and its only around twelve I believe, so we have time."
He says looking around at the decorations and paintings on the walls as people were being served.
"You wanna go? There's probably somewhere fun we could go to"

Penelope smiled, happiness replacing her confusion. "Yeah, I would love to!" They slid out of the booth. She kept holding Eli's hand, not planning on letting go, unless he wanted to.

"Nice! So where should we go?"
He says to her as they walk out of the restaurant, then they proceed to walk down the sidewalk with was nearly lined with shops on the inner side and on the outer side facing the road, was lined with pretty bushes and flowers and lamp posts with benches near them.

"Well, I'm not sure actually. Maybe we could just walk for a bit?" Penelope did enjoy walking around town. It was relaxing and fun to see all the little shops. And this was a beach town so the air was nice and fresh.

"Okay, I'm down with that!"
He says with a smile as he looked at her, then looking up to the sky. Blotched with white puffy clouds, moving over the town slowly. A plane zooming over the town, leaving a small streak behind them, then quickly disappearing.
He stroked her hand softly with his thumb as they walked. The fresh air filling his lungs more and more as they walked. Every step felt like he was floating.

Penelope had a small smile on her face as she saw different stores and a street performer. Once stopping to smell the flowers on the side of the path. A little fluttering started in her heart, she actually enjoyed it along with the nice air. It was such a nice feeling, she was almost forgetting what happened just a few hours earlier.

"Enjoying the little town?"
He says after a little bit of silence. A street performer on the sidewalk with a ukelele smiled and waved at them as Elijah did the same. It was a little boy with shorts, a plaid shirt, and suspenders with crazy brown hair and the craziest, brightest green eyes you ever have seen, and a sweet smile on his face as he sang "somewhere over the rainbow".

(So sorry this is so late, I was a bit more busy than usual)
"Definitely. I love places like this." Penelope said with a smile, watching the little boy. As she listened to him, she leaned her head on Eli's arm since she was to short to do it on his shoulder. She lip-synced a little with the song, the smile still on her face.

Elijah smiled as she leaned on him. Pure joy filled his little heart, even at such a small gesture.
He started soft singing along to the song as he held onto her hand.

Penelope loved Elijah's voice. Once the boy finished the song, she immediately missed Eli's voice. The boy started singing again. This was one of the best moments she'd ever had, nothing could compare to it.

After a while the boy stopped singing, packed his bags and started walking down the street, passing the two.
Elijah gave the boy about twenty bucks, making the boy smile wide, then he kept walking again.

Penelope smiled as Elijah gave the boy twenty dollars. If she had money she would have also given him some. They started walking once more, their hands still clasped together and her head still on Eli's arm.

"Oh hey!"
He says suddenly as he turns to her with a smile.
"We should find you a job. You up for it?"

(Sorry it's short im a tad busy)

"A job? I guess I would be up for it, but I don't know where I would want to work…" Penelope looked up at him. "Why though?"
(It's okay!)

"well i mean….. you would need to somehow get up on your feet. Get some money, maybe get your own place? I dont know, im just trying to help you out any way i can"
He says with a shrug.

"Yeah, that makes sense, thanks. Where do you think I should work? Because I really don't know." Penelope replied with a small smile. Technically, she hadn't ever had a job and she hasn't had a lot of time to figure out what kind of things she wants to do.

"Well if you liked the skating rink there's always that. Then the fancy restaurants always pay really well around here. There is the flower shop down at the beach, but the shifts are really long and even though its surprisingly successful and it pays a good amount, i don't recommend it."
He says with a smile, though trying to think of as many places for her to work. And if she worked at the shop he wouldn't get to see her much unless he would always be at the flower shop. Though he loved the shop, he needed a break from it at times.

"A restaurant is always fun!" Penelope did like food, of course, so a food-related thing would probably be a good idea. "Are there any bakeries? That would definitely be fun!"

"Oh! There's the strawberry cream bakery!"
He says with a smile. Their name was cute but a little weird to him. He liked it though, and it definitely reminded him of Penelope.
"It's not far at all. Wanna go check it out?"

"Yes! Definitely!" Penelope wiggled a little in excitement. She remembered that her grandmother owned a bakery and she always loved it there. This one sounded really fun and nice.

"So let's see…..it should be…..north of town? Yeah I think that's right"
He says tapping his chin with his free hand as he thought about where it was, still holding Penelope's hand. He didn't have the best memory, so he was just going to have to trust his gut with this one.

"Did you forget where it was?" Penelope asked with a smile. She didn't care if they had to walk to the opposite side of town and back because she was happy being with Elijah.
