CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
'Where do you want to go?' Tony asked
'There is this bar that sells my favorite milkshake and fish pepper soup but I must warn you, the road to the place is bad and…muddy'
Tony drove off without a word. He was speeding until McKenna asked him to slow down. They chatted heartily about nothing in particular. He was charming and a great conversationalist.
When they got to the bar, McKenna ordered for Milkshake and Fish while Tony took a cold beer.
'So McKenna, tell me about yourself' Tony asked
McKenna talked about herself without emotion, taking care not to talk about what really mattered. She talked about school, her dead dog, her favorite drink and any other superficial thing that popped inside her head. Tony watched quietly without saying a word.
He liked her but he could tell she had baggage, emotional and family baggage.
'For someone that has been talking for the past eight minutes, you have said nothing'
