Snippet #1396362

Joshua couldn't help but blush at Cally's words and the way she flipped her hair back at him. It appeared that he was still a bit shy around girls, but no matter. That was such a little thing now and they had more important things to worry about. When they were around the campfire, he'd have to make sure to get back at Cally for that. He grinned over at her before blinking at her question to the other girl. God, how did he even forget to ask her name?

"I'm Joshua by the way. You can call me Josh or Joshua, or maybe even Joe," he told her soothingly before pondering her comments. He nodded in agreement with her and spoke, "My car is almost out of gas as well, though I have a tube for siphoning gas. If we're traveling together, I'm willing to abandon it and hand over the remaining gas so we can get going."

Really, he was taking a risk at offering his precious little gasoline to a stranger, but Joshua had a feeling that these girls were the good sort of people. They weren't any of the thugs or con-artists and took it upon themselves to steal from their fellow man in these dark times in order to survive. They were not better than zombies that way. At least zombies were honest about what they were doing. He turned to Cally when she mentioned her feminine wiles and winked.

"I shall be the judge of that, ma'am," he told her.
