SOMEHOW, FOOD IS always involved whenever arlo and jacqueline are together. this particular time, arlo’s kind of high and starving at a weird, ungodly hour of the night. well, maybe not: it’s only around midnight or so, but he’s wound up by himself at one of the only places that sells food and stays open this late: it’s just a little gas station on the outskirts of the town. he can walk there fine; it’s right off of the cobblestone walkways of the island and on the other side, there are actual roads that cars drive on. in fact, sometimes arlo forgets that people can drive here. he’s so used to walking everywhere and seeing four-wheelers holding terrified tourists zip by and struggle along the stones.
just as he’s pacing the chip aisle, he looks up and spots a familiar face. instantly, his face lights up, though his eyes stay a tad tired from the weed. “jackie!” he exclaims, voice not too loud as not to scare the only worker. “what the hell, what brings you here? you must know this is the only place open for late night snacks. besides the diner, of course, but...” he snaps his fingers a few times. “i have no patience to wait for food.”
