Chapter 9: Fire Reign After we drove for about 20 minutes, we arrived at Cracker Barrel. I love this place. I got out rubbing my hands together. “Let’s go.” I said skipping into CB. “Hi, I need a table for 15 please.” I smiled at the girl. She looked at me, and her mouth fell open. Damien approached her. “Excuse me, may I speak with your manager?” he asked politely. “Miss?” He snapped his fingers in front of her face. “OMG!” She squealed as she covered her mouth. “Please don’t scream, yell or call attention.” He told her bring her attention to him. “Get your manager for me, please. Quietly.” She nodded and rushed off. When she returned, she had who I assumed was the manager. Damien went and spoke with her. “That female better not touch our mate.” My inner voice growled in my head.
