Mare's War (2009)
Mare's War
“now It’s only an hour after our last break, but when Mare pulls off the interstate in search of a gas station, I’m just as glad for an-other stop and a break from the story. I get out of the car and stretch, yawning as Mare heads briskly for the restroom.
“You girls, go and look around in the store. See if you can find a keepsake,” my grandmother calls over her shoulder.
“You don’t need your lighter to go to the restroom,” Tali calls after her pointedly. I shrug and yawn again as Tali quickly digs into her bag for her headset.
Mare decided that we should buy something from every single place we stop, so we have one of those little bobbing birds from the hotel where we stayed last night, a cornhusk doll from Bartlett’s Fruit Stand, where we stopped an hour ago and bought plums, and this gas station has a little gift shop, too. I can’t see why we need to look at another piece of junk just because we need to use the bathrooms, but Mare seems to have an insatiable need to shop.
