" Do you think we could stop at Roy’s Dinner on the way home? I have a craving for their apple pie and hot cocoa,” Rory said, sounding chipper and scaring the shit out of him. “You want to stop and get pie?” he asked cautiously, knowing that the wrong tone could get him killed. “Mmmhmm,” she said, nodding as she reached over and started playing with the radio. “Okay………..,” he said, not really sure how to proceed so he went with a safe question, or at least what he hoped was a safe question. “Do you need to use the bathroom?” “No,” she simply said with a shrug. “No?” “No, I’m good,” she said, shooting him a sweet smile. “Then what was all that back at the jail?” he asked, wondering if her hormones were starting to make him go crazy. “I had a craving for pie,” she said with another shrug as she settled back in her seat. He pulled to a stop at the light and for a moment he could only stare at her in wonder. “You did all that for pie?” “And cocoa,” she clarified with a nod. He laughed, he couldn’t help it. "
