Julianna continued to hide her face and refrained from snapping at him again. Another pinpoint fine just to really drive her point home. Her point being her currently incorrigible need to leave him unassisted in making her abduction easier. Though the need was waning, as her hunger nagged at her and her overall resolve started to fade with lingering chemical fatigue.
She was aware of the way he was looming. Though she tried to ignore him his presence and his words were a continued weight on her the back of her head. She pressed her lips together and rubbed her face on her knees that she was hiding behind. She lifted her face just as he moved to push at her hair and she wasn’t quick enough to stop him. She made her displeasure known by the obvious way she jerked her head away from him even though he was already moving away again.
He seemed angry, or at least annoyed with her. That touch of her hair was meant to convey just that. There was no warmth in the gesture, not that there was room for warmth in the situation. Or in the walls she had been trying to erect between them. Julianna quickly decided to give him some benefit of the doubt, but only because she wanted to eat the egg roll he had left for her without feeling guilty about it.
Starving was quickly losing it’s appeal.
Julianna sighed, letting her legs fall flat and grabbed at the wax paper containing the treat her stomach was demanding. She pulled out the eggroll and pushed half of it into her mouth, crumpling the wax into a ball in her opposite hand. The outside was still crunchy when she bit into it, and the middle was still warm. She sighed, content in the way her stomach immediately stopped conspiring against her. “My phone code is eighty-seven-zero-sixty-one,” she told him with no concern for the pork and vegetable filling that was muffling her speech. Chewing slowly she looked over her shoulder at him, to where he was waffling between two thick DVD covers. She recognized them as probably being from her personal collection but she didn’t say anything about it. She swallowed the over-sized bite. “You need to text Mom, Dad, Elliot, and Maeve. They’re all labeled in my contacts. Mom, dad and Elliot you can tell I am on vacation. Maeve won’t believe you. You will have to tell her I am out of town looking for a new job.”
After this explanation she looked away from him again and popped the rest of the egg roll in her mouth, before reaching for the container of pho. She pulled the lid back and held it close to her nose to smell the contents. The fatty beef broth within wasn’t her favorite, but she wasn’t going to complain; assuming she she would happy she was getting fed at all. She fully peeled off the rest of the lid and took a small sip from the cup.
“You should watch Dexter,” she advised. “I’ve only seen the first few episodes, so I can’t spoil anything for you out of spite.”
There. She was trying.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
