[It all smells so good that she really wants to enjoy it. She smiles a little as Johnnie digs in, and decides she might as well start eating too. The sound of delight that she makes at first bite puts a smile on Miss Toni's face, and rather than stand around any longer she returns to the kitchen to do her own thing. In some way, Chrissy's grateful for that. It means they can talk freely for the most part.]

We can't stay here for long. I know it sounds stupid, but I know something is out there watching us.

[Her first thought is maybe it's the woman from New Orleans, back for revenge for the fire they set as they headed out of town. But there's no way she'd be here. How would she even know what time they're in, much less manage to find them all the way here in this small town all the way across Texas? That doesn't make any sense.

But the more she thinks about it, the more unnerved she becomes. It's a couple of bites later, and Chrissy is leaving her side of the booth to go sit next to him in his.]

I wish we could drive all the way back to California tonight.
