She took a deep breath and felt Maria's gentle squeeze. She forced herself to smile. [color=00CED1]"There's been a lot of bite cases around my area, M. Even more lately."[/color] She looked back in the restaurant. The officers were talking still, rather adamantly. [color=00CED1]"I didn't want to say anything. But when cops start freaking out? I'm overreacting. Maybe. I don't know... I'm sorry. You wanted to go somewhere outside, right."[/color] Turning to the right, she pointed towards a large obelisk in the distance. [color=00CED1]"That's where we want to go. I haven't seen the WW II Memorial in a while."[/color] She started walking, she kept holding Maria's hand. [color=00CED1]"Can we stop by to get some flowers? It's for grand dad."[/color]
