The sun is setting, and a car appears in the distance.

Inside is a 24-year old, a 7 year old, and an imaginary sister.

Lenore, exhausted, stops the car outside a farm that looks like it hasn't seen a drop of water in years, and promptly flops back onto the hood of the vehicle.

She's tired. She's hungry. Her hands are shaking and she's sweating and it takes everything she has to keep it from happening, and within a few minutes, it subsides. There are a few lights on in the farmhouse, she notices, and so she checks to make sure Bridgette is still asleep before walking over and knocking on the door.

"Hey," she calls, hoping someone hospitable will open the door, "I've got a kid with me."

She thinks about that for a moment.

"... nope, it isn't."

:D!

"Does it least 'ave a name?"

Will's going to make more toast and also find the cheese since bread and cheese is just one of the best thing ever.

"Washington, D.C. -- it's the capital of the country I'm from."

She knows there's no America yet.

"Oh aye, sounds like a good an proper name. Like somethin' the Romans would 'ave 'ad."

Now the toaster and the cheese are presenting a problem, toast then melt cheese or perhaps do both at the same time.

Lenore eyes him for a second and can tell what he's trying to do.

"Don't put that in there!" she says quickly. "It'll probably set the toaster on fire."

After some rummaging, she finds a spatula and frying pan. "Here, I'll make you one of the tastiest things ever."

GRILLED CHEESE FTW!

Lenore gets beamed at, "Oh aye?"

Setting the toaster on fire would be bad but new things to eat are good.

"Aye," she grins.

It doesn't take long, and more rummaging produces a plate.

"Here," she says, "this beautiful thing right here is called grilled cheese."

Of course, she has to make one for herself as well, now.

There is more beaming, a slight bit of cursing at the hot, but then grinning through cheese.

Warm, new food, life suddenly improved a huge amount.
