"1st: I know you heard me. 2nd: did you just call me 'hon'?" he smirks.
"Okay, maybe I was a little awake." I comply.
"You're hungry too, right?" he asks.
"Just a little" I say, as I'm interrupted by my loud growling stomach.
"You've really got to stop lying Tris" he smiles. "Let's try to find something to eat. I think its safe enough to keep moving now.
