[He turns to look over his shoulder. He can't help it, can't just walk away and let Chrissy's non-answer be good enough. The question wasn't a direct challenge, no, but it's fucking cowardly to run off like he doesn't want to get in trouble. He wears this jacket everywhere he goes for a reason - he's proud.

Well, you learn somethin' every day, huh? Have a good one, man. I gotta get this girl out there before she drags me.
