He travels the fastest that travels alone

He travels the fastest that travels alone 
- Rudyard Kipling

Today's offering for the Light & Shade Challenge


He called it his motto. The phrase from Rudyard Kipling, "He travels fastest that travels alone". It was just his excuse to run away. Whoever he was living with he He kept a bag with his passport, money, and a change of clothes in a prominent place in the hall way. It seemed to work, women seemed to fall over themselves to prove to him they they were 'the one'.
This one scared him, so he did what he always did, he ran.
When he arrived at the hotel in a new country, he realised he'd been right to be scared.
Hea opened his bag to find, not his clothes, but hers and no money. And a note. 'Got You'
