            Talone finally recovers, it's about time. We head west towards Brigus, which is the town where Natalia lives. Talone is confused of why we are heading towards Brigus. I had to lie to him and said they have a lot of food there, and that we can stock up. For a minute he does not believe me. It took me five to ten minutes to convince him. He finally decides to come along because he knows I am in a hurry. I do only have two weeks because that is how long the "camping trip" was suppose to be. I don't have a cell phone so I wouldn't even be able to call Heather and let her know to extend the trip. We catch up on things. I didn't know he was married, and then got a divorce. Kind of sad not knowing your old friend was married. I also didn't know he didn't have a job anymore. His life has definitely gone down hill. I told him about my other family and about my siblings. How they all act and treat me. He was quite intrigued by my story of my life. I haven't ever felt this close to him. Not even when we were best friends. It is kind of nice having someone else to trust besides Natalia. At least when she is not even here. 

            Is it strange that I am happy being this close to Talone? I haven't ever felt this way about him before. It's not possible that I am falling for him, is it? I cannot let that happen. But what if my feelings take over me? I know how to control them. The only way to is to believe he does not fall for me. It just cannot happen. Especially now that I am getting my life back together. I cannot believe these feelings are deciding to come along now. Why not during an earlier time in history?
