Bad enough her feet hurt but that she is low on water is enough to make her desperate. That booming G'day sounds so welcoming, especially in those circumstances. Great story, it's got my interest.Chelle Corderohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15412268726863698528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5142354738066989777.post-75509234762419147282015-07-20T16:31:40.765+10:002015-07-20T16:31:40.765+10:00I love how she sets herself rules that will probab...I love how she sets herself rules that will probably be broken anyways. Besides, how many good people out there will stop for a hitchhiker anymore? It's all the creepy, red flag ones that stop.
