They wound up at his chapel-a 24 hour joint with a drive thru-and 'Book' was serving her tea.
"It's been a long time since anyone was quite so respectful of what they called me, even if they were off course." He laughed a bit. "Most people just call me Father, if that."
"What should I call you then?"
"My name is Tobias."
"Can I call you Father Toby?"
"I suppose." He chuckled. "You seemed to be distressed."
"I found out to defeat the Devil I may have to lose the man I love." River stated, staring into her tea. "All because he might have trusted the wrong people."
"I see." Tobias shook his head. "I won't lie. It sounds like a horrid situation."
"I don't want to lose him. But if I do nothing I will anyway. God won't help us."
"God's a busy man."
"Yeah right."
River frowned as Tobias glanced at her.
"I'm afraid I don't have much help to offer you..."
"I don't know myself." River finished off her cup. "I need to find guidance. Thank you for the tea."
"Where will you go?" Tobias asked.
"I don't know. I have some friends. I just don't feel right going back yet. One of them is his brother." River paused, ran back, and hugged him. Tobias blinked, looking at her.
"Child...?"
"I'm sorry I broke your symbol."
Without another word River fled to the strip.
