Free The Bone Artists by Madeleine Roux Page B

insides of his lips were a guilty shade of Skittles orange.
    â€œIt’s a road trip. What does she think we’re going to do?” Jordan asked. “Boil quinoa on the radiator?”
    â€œThat’s not a half-bad idea,” Abby teased. “We are not stopping at McDonald’s tonight.”
    â€œBut—”
    â€œNo. I checked to see if there was anything to eat other than fast food on the route. Turns out we can avoid the Montgomery traffic and stop at a cute little family-owned diner off 271.”
    â€œDiners have hamburgers,” Jordan pointed out sagely. “So really, that doesn’t change much.”
    â€œHey, I’m just providing a few more options. What you stuff down your gullet is none of my business,” she said.
    â€œAnd thank God for that,” Jordan muttered. “Quinoa is for goats.”
    â€œI’m with Abby,” Dan said. “I could use a salad, or just, you know, a vegetable of any kind. I’m starting to shrivel up from all the beef jerky.”
    He heard the satisfied smile in Abby’s voice as she sat up straighter in the driver’s seat and said, “That’s settled then. The place I found is called the Mutton Chop, and the same family has owned it for generations. We can get a little local history for my photography project and a decent meal.”
    â€œI’m still getting a burger,” Jordan muttered. He twisted to face the windshield, sighing as he slid down into his seat and began to text at lightning speed. “Soon I’ll be on the all-gumbo, all-jambalaya diet. Gotta get my burgers in while I still can.”
