Chapter 8

N ATHAN ARGUED against leaving the water bottles behind. It was insanity and he couldn’t believe that Tammy would be so naive and stupid to think they could travel with one bottle each. He made his stand clear, but she and the kids pretty much ignored him.

Shockingly, it was Lou who convinced him to give up his fight.

“Jesus is gonna give us water,” she whispered as she put her small hand on Nathan’s shoulder. She’d stood up when he started telling his wife she was insane, and he’d thought he’d frightened the little girl.

There was a pleading look on her face, along with something that said she trusted what Tammy had said, that the “Lord would provide.” Nathan thought it was rubbish, but he wasn’t going to be the one to destroy a child’s faith. Especially not one so delicate as the little girl who’d obviously been abused.

A heavy sigh left him, and he cocked his neck from side to side to crack it, then smiled at Lou. “Okay,” he said, darting a glance at Tammy, who managed to keep a neutral look on her face. He silently dared her to cheer, or even crack a smile, but to her credit, she didn’t.

They went back into the house and the kids went upstairs to see if they could manage to take a nap with Sissy, while Nathan and Tammy went into the living room. There was a ratty-looking chair in one corner and a small loveseat that looked like gallons of fruit juice had been spilled on it over the years. Apparently, the neighbors didn’t think the furniture was good enough to steal.

“I’ll take the chair,” Tammy said as she moved over to it, then dragged it closer to the fireplace. Nathan wondered why she would do that, since it was far too hot in the house to need a fire, but then she sat and propped her feet up on the hearth.

“Okay,” he said as he settled on the loveseat, “but we’ll switch after an hour or so. That way we can both stretch out for a little while at least.” She didn’t reply and Nathan looked at her, smiling when he saw that she was already asleep. It didn’t take long for him to follow.
