Chapter 6

6:00am and a ringing telephone seemed to roll around after just a few minutes, so I reluctantly dragged myself out of bed and headed in for a shower. The hot water helped to wake me up, and I was really looking forward to all of this driving being over and done with because my back was killing me. I was really enjoying Linda and her children's company, and I hoped that they had been enjoying mine. I found myself thinking that I would like to be able to spend some time with them once this whole trip was over and done with.

I knocked on the adjoining room door to let my companions know that I was ready, and once again they were just waiting on me. We gathered up our belongings, loaded up the car, turned in the room keys, and we were on our way. Surprisingly, none of us were in the mood for breakfast yet so we just got on I-64 heading east, and settled in for the last leg of our journey.

We made it all the way to Evansville, Indiana before we had to stop for some gas and a good stretching of the old legs and back. Looking around we noticed a Burger King next to the gas station, so after filling up the car we headed over to grab a quick burger.

Linda was still being quiet towards me and the girls were all stealing little glances at me. There was definately something in those looks that kept landing on me, but I couldn't decipher just what was behind them. I knew I didn't like it, though, and decided that maybe I was wrong about wanting to spend more time with them once this trip was done.
