They never meant for it to happen. At least, that's what they tell themselves when it's late and they're separated by a three hour time difference, and the loneliness stretches past the reflecting pool on the mall and circles the Nevada desert.
Inspired by LiveJournal's 100_situations Challenge , this is the chart for the Connecting series. For those unfamiliar with how these work, each part of the table is a prompt and the story must use that as a theme. Deciding to challenge myself to explore the different characters, their similarities, and their differences, I have paired together what seems (yet really isn't) a rather unlikely pairing: Sara/Toby.
Dedication: For Hannah. You sat through trying to piece together the first chapter, and you were totally excited about the idea of Toby and Sara being together. I'll save the cheerleading skirt just for you, Hun.
