Audrey laid down sprawled out horizontally across the flatbed, her legs hanging off the side of the truck. She had been reading a book she "borrowed" from a bookstore in the last town they were in. If her mother could see her now,  shoplifting, although she figured her mother probably wouldn't care. That relationship had been severed the night her mother and father decided to sell their only daughter down the river. In truth the only person she missed was her little brother who probably wasn't so little anymore. She often thought about what grade he'd be starting, how many birthdays she had missed.

He had only been a baby when she fled from home, so he probably wouldn't remember her, but that didn't stop her from loving him all the same. There was a silver lining to the situation she was in and it was finding what she sort of considered her new family. "Evil circus, that'd be a first" she answered Eli's question, Sarcasm hanging on her breath.  As she looked up, she could see recklessness had taken Eli as he shot up to look at the sign. This of course kicked her motherly instincts into overdrive "And stop standing in the truck, you're gonna fall out when we start moving again." She warned.
