Her face fell a bit, and he gently pat her on the head.

"Thanks, Spence. How does a water break sound?"

He gave her a halting thumbs up, and she gave a light laughing.

"Alright, let's get some water."

The two of them started towards the garage, Merril in front, with Spencer shuffling behind her.
