@augustwritingchallenge Day 3: Countryside
Rip Hunter couldn’t handle living in London after the death of his wife, Miranda. He packed up everything he needed and took Jonas to the states. While heading across the country for brighter prospects, they stop in a small town, where your neighbors live over twenty minutes away from you and the most interaction you get is at the market.
Gideon Rider has always been a drifter. It just seemed that nobody would ever miss her wherever she went. She’d go somewhere, get a few days’ rest, maybe shag someone every once in a while, and then go on her merry way, living off an inheritance she did nothing to work for but would take gleefully. Her goal now was to get to Las Vegas and try to settle down.
When they meet in the middle of nowhere diner, both are just thinking the most that’ll happen is some flirting. Gideon clearly doesn’t want strings, and Rip clearly isn’t going to shag someone while there’s no one to watch his son. So, where’s the harm in banter, right? A lot of harm, actually.
