Chapter Eight: Road Trip Blues

As the thought crossed his mind, he began to wonder if Paulina felt the same way. He shook his head slightly, but wasn’t sure what to say now. The silence fell in, and he didn’t stop it.

She eventually pulled over.

“We need gas,” she explained, “and we can grab something to eat here. Are you hungry?”

“Yes. Unbelievably hungry.” He hadn’t realized that his stomach had been growling for a while. He felt his face flushing. “How long has my stomach been growling?”

“About ten minutes now. That’s why I started looking for somewhere to pull off. I hope we can find something to eat around here... Maybe inside the little store here?” She smiled a little, and handed him some money. “Here, you can go pick something. Get me a slice of pizza if they have, please.”

“I’ll do that.” He smiled at her, and headed inside. The smell of the convenience store hit him, and he grimaced. It was like someone had vomited up alcohol and then tried to cover it up with air freshener and freshly made food. It made him nauseous just thinking about it.

He was relieved to find the pizza Paulina had requested. It didn’t look too safe, but his options were limited, so he bought two slices. He was happy to see the store sold his favorite soda and a candy that he hadn’t been able to get in the town of Hamlet. He checked he had enough change to purchase enough for the both of them, and once he had done so, he thanked the teller and left the store.

He was pleasantly surprised to see Paulina walking towards him.

“Here you go. A slice of pizza, a soda, and a pack of candy.” He smiled at her, and handed her the things. “And your change, before I forget.” Digging in his pocket, it took him a moment to find the change. She thanked him, and took the food and the change.

“Not my favorite candy, but that’s okay. I’m just glad you were thinking ahead and got two of everything. I half thought I’d have to go back in and get a drink.” She smiled. “Shall we get back on the road, then?”

“Do we have an idea of where we’re going? Where we are, even?” He wasn’t quite sure he was ready to get back on the road. “Maybe we should stick around to see where we are, and figure out where we can go.”

“I was thinking we could go to a friend’s house. She’s only about two hours further south, but I was getting hungry enough that I couldn’t wait. And neither could you.” She laughed. “I know exactly where we are, and where we’re going, Cobalt. Don’t worry.” She touched his arm lightly as they headed slowly back to the car.

“All right, but I want to stretch my legs a little more before we get going again. I’m not used to being cramped up for so long.”

“Sure.” She smiled, and started walking back to the car.
