Winter nodded, senses on high alert as she readjusted the six canisters in her hands. She followed him out and filled her own containers, careful not to get gas on her, which she very nearly did considering she had never used a pump before. She waited for Alex to drive over and stretched her back before picking her cans up.
Taking them to Declan, she put them beside his, having had to walk a tad lopsidedly because of the weight of the gas. Sighing, she wiped off of her hands and stood on tip toes, peering over his shoulder at the brochure. She stepped to be completely beside him and pulled out the post card, grinning. "It's beautiful, isn't it," she said with a sigh and thumbed over the picture, surprised that Declan even knew and believed in the ocean.
"I wished we didn't even have to go the village," she said low, barely audible for anyone to hear. A frown tugged down the corners of her lips and she slipped the card back in her pocket as the car pulled up beside them.
Scarlett's blushing made Alex grin. She was quite beautiful, and he had thought so even before the zombie siege. His parents had never allowed the two to socialize though, not liking her beliefs. They had no pity for someone who believed in anything other than the Convent, the Village, and the Guardians.
The male leaned into Scarlett's ear, hoping he wouldn't regret telling her what he was going to. "The kid, Justin, was commenting on how nice your breasts are and how he's hoping to score with you and Winter. It was pretty degrading, and he's taking advantage of you two," he whispered in hushed tones. Before she could reply he glanced up and saw Declan waving him over. Sighing he kissed Scarlett's cheek and got out of the car, switching to the front seat.
Expertly manuevering the car, having watched Declan seeing as he wouldn't know others, he pulled the black SUV up to the pair, wondering at what they were looking at.
