Something was nudging him and he woke up to see Marla’s face. “Hey,” she whispered, “my turn to sleep.” He groaned and dragged himself up to sit straight. Feeling the edge of his jaw, he opened and closed his mouth slowly. “Think I slept with my head up the window.” “Sure did,” she replied with a smile. “If the wind changes, you’ll stay that way. Come on and jump out so I can get some shut eye.” “Any change in the woman and her kid?” “None, but Ellen’s getting on really well with this young guy on the coach.” “Really?” he asked, raising his eyebrows and trying to see. “Don’t look! He’s sitting next to her now. Nice,” she added, grinning. “But I’m getting some zees now, so I’ll chat to you when I wake up.” Tommy nodded and settled himself down to watch the two with a fever.
