Another chapter! Worth the wait.

If they know they're being followed, it's time to be a little chaotic. Double back for two days, then had straight north or something. Drive through the night in the wrong direction, sleep in a day or two. Do not let anyone see the little lady, at all, ever (they're getting sloppy).

We're headed for confrontation!

Very much inevitable.

Chipping away at the next chapter as we speak but here are a few facts about the story.

1. I originally wanted Darla to speak with a southern accent but after drafting a couple of chapters, I kept forgetting that detail. Instead, I'll leave it to the reader to determine that in their head if they want her to speak proper or with a southern twang.

2. This is the first Small Talk story that I have a proper location in. The rest of them so far are in "Any town, USA" as of now though for the main story, I'm looking at some big cities that I want to place it in.

3. The states this story takes place in I have actually never been in except Colorado which was briefly on a road trip.
