Their car zoomed in the darkness amongst the streets of Brooklyn. They both sat tight-lipped as none of them had any courage to start the conversation. He thought of playing some music but then again he wasn't sure if that would sour her mood in some way for the Katherine that he knew, was edgy, moody and loaded with her own set of tantrums.
Then suddenly out of blue, he heard her voice.
"Shawn... I need something to drink. I am not feeling so good".
Katherine said and the car came to a screeching halt suddenly.
Shawn got so worried to hear her say that, that he brought the car to an instant standstill. Then he turned towards her and asked,
"What, why what happened?", he asked all fumbling amidst his own words.
"Nothing happened! I am just thirsty and my stomach doesn't feel so well. Is there a 7/11 nearby?"
"Where do you have pain?"
"My lower abdomen. Do something. I am completely nauseated", Katherine begged.
