A part of her wanted to stand up and run, to just get as far away from him as possible. Damsel-in-distress wasn’t her scene – hell, no – and not even a little bit. Francine was always the one who stayed cool when the shit was hitting the fan, and she was the one who pulled others through and out.

They stood in front of it and she placed her order. They watched it been cooked and arranged for them. Then she handed a stick to Lorenzo. She laughed as he stared at it,strangely. Fabiola took a bite encouraging him to do so.
