Dani sat on the ground playing with grass and twigs while Marie and Abigail talked about Matthew, Marie watching the twins very closely. Matthew was showing Court something on his fishing rod.
"Dani can you get the salt off that table, were going to need some more." Abigail pointed to a small bag on a table. Dani got up and picked up the bag.
"Mama it's empty, were out of salt." Dani said and put the empty bag back down on the table.
"I guess your daddy's going to have to go to town." Abigail said looking at Matthew.
"I'll go with you daddy!" Dani said anxiously and sat down to put her shoes on. Matthew reached into his pocket to pull some coins out.
"Court can you drive to town for me and pick up the salt, Dani will go with you so you don't get lost, come on Dani." Matthew said as Court started walking to the truck. Dani gave a defeated sigh and followed Court; the point was to get away from him.
"You know you don't have to come along, I can find the store by myself." Court said as he walked to his side of the truck.
"Are you sure you can find your way, it's an awful big town." Dani replied Sarcastically.
"Are you always in the habit of going where you're not wanted or is this a new thing with you?" Court shot back at Dani as he opened his door.
"Are you always this nice to people you just met or are you practicin' up to be a horse's butt?" Dani shot back again smirking at her comment.
"Little girls shouldn't talk so nasty." Court said.
"I'm not a little girl, I'm fourteen." Dani shouted back annoyed.
"My goodness." Court shot back sarcastically slamming his door after getting in the truck.
"Your not much older, Sixteen." Dani replied after getting in the truck as well.
"I'm seventeen." Court said briefly.
"My goodness." Dani said backing mockingly. Court put the car into drive and sped away down the road. The drive was quiet and Dani looked out the window avoiding Court. Court speeding and driving crazily jerked Dani out of her thoughts. She looked over at him and he looked back at her and smirked. She smiled and sat back enjoying his driving. They pulled up to the store and Dani got out of the car waiting for Court.
"You never give an inch do you?" Court asked amusedly. Dani smiled back at him.
"No." She replied smugly.
"Good I like that." Court said back smirking as usual and started walking fast towards the store. "Well you coming?" he asked throwing his arms out. Dani smiled once again and ran up to catch up with him.
"Hey wait." Dani said as she reached into her shirt pocket. She grabbed a piece of gum and handed it to him.
"Oh thanks." Court said smiling. He looked down below her chin. "Hey what is that?" he said point at her. Dani looked down and he lifted his finger to knick her chin. He laughed and walked into the store. Dani followed smiling behind him.
