The Awakening (2014)
“Visiting Martha had been like a return to normalcy. The cat in the road hadn’t bothered him; he had swerved and slammed on his brakes carefully. Tough call for any driver anytime—avoid killing an animal and cause a wreck that might kill a person, or run over the creature. His reflexes were sharp; he’d avoided the creature after making certain there was no one following right on his tail.

“I really like Martha,” he told her.
She flashed him a quick smil...e via the mirror. “She’s adorable, isn’t she?”
“Blunt, certainly. When she wants you to leave, she tells you so.”
Megan laughed. “She knows we’re playing tonight.”
“I have to do sound checks, of course, but we’re pretty set for tonight.”
“I doubt if she understands anything about amps, sound checks, or equipment,” Megan said.
“Still, we have some time before going in,” he reminded her. “What do you want to do?”
She hesitated. He had the feeling she wanted to tell him that she wanted to crawl beneath a rock or something of the like.MoreLess
