David laughed amusedly when Killian came out with the last box that had shoes written on it. He looked at the two smaller boxes of mixed things and the large suitcase he had placed behind the car and wondered if Bree thought he had brought a truck with him.

She looked around in confusion and yawned. "Sorry, I must have fallen asleep."
"I'm finally going to get some sleep too. I had to stop along the road a few times to stretch my legs and grab some fresh air so as not to fall asleep behind the wheel," he said, grabbing his jeans jacket in the back seat before opening the car door.
