[What starts as a fun ride through heavy rain quickly becomes something more. As that branch flies over their heads she gasps, and glances back to try and see where the branch went. But the wind is getting so strong that it's long gone. He's not driving very fast at all, but it feels like if she doesn't take his advice and hold on tight enough she'll be next to be blown away.

She leans up against him, head turning so her cheek is pressed tight against his back. And she wraps her arms around him to hold on as tight as she can. Even with that, she can feel the resistance the wind offers. It feels like she might be pulled off. That worry only grows stronger as the sound of the wind grows louder and louder, until it's howling around them.

In retrospect, maybe setting everything Cruz owns on fire was a bad idea. They could've at least hid in the barn until after the storm passed. Now they're out in the middle of it, and she's trying her best to find the excitement in everything. Fear is winning out though, but she keeps that to herself. Johnnie needs to be able to focus so they don't get swept off the road.

Eventually though, the storm feels like it's not safe to be out in anymore. That's about the time as the pea sized hail starts, and being pelted with it makes her hold on him go away completely so she can cover her face with her hands.

Do you think we should find somewhere to pull over?
