Ordinary man

Alex wiped his hands on his pants before winding the window down for her. Abigail's gaze was still locked onto the steering wheel which had turned from one circle into two half circles.

"Little lamb, get in the car now," Alex said, trying to keep his tone as normal as possible but of course it didn't escape Abi.

She turned to him with questions in her eyes. "Why do you want to leave so badly? What's wrong with this place?" she asked.

"..."

Alex didn't know how to answer her question because really, there was nothing wrong with the place itself. It was just that damn vampire that was wrong but he couldn't really say that to her, could he?

"I just don't like it," he said curtly.

Abigail still didn't get it but by now, her hunger was getting the better of her. Her stomach had been complaining since she had a whiff of the delicious smell of food inside that inn. Her mouth had already started watering from the anticipation.
