Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Cyrus

I didn’t mean to drag Imogen in behind me, but it became imperative to get her away from all the truckers. Who knew how long before another fight broke out? The woman had a savior complex and I couldn’t be sure she wouldn’t run at it and get herself hurt in the process. I’d only half been joking about my comment with the puppies.

Even though I was clearly leading the way, she kept pace with me. I pushed through the truck stop doors and passed a souped-up convenient station. They had candy, chips, sandwiches, and even a few racks of clothing. Everything you might need for a long drive.

Attached to that was a restaurant on the far side of the building with a large open arch, letting us gain entry. I tapped the top of an empty booth, hoping Imogen would take a cue and sit down, but she continued to follow right behind me as I approached the main food counter.
