   Summary

   I had a vision of Nick driving cross-country for hours…. and then this absolute mess came out of that one singular image in my brain. Apologies to all, of course.

   Set in the US, aged-up, break-up AU. Remember though–I don’t do sad endings.

   It clearly got way too far away from me to be a one-shot, so yes, there will be a few more chapters. But, it's about 93% written, so if my beta is up to it, maybe posted once a day? Get this holiday fluff out of the way already ;)
