Tammy wandered from machine to machine for a minute, then saw Bill, getting a glass of water-- usually free anyway, so no guilt-- making a "Hurry-up" look at her.
She bit her lip and walked to the milkshake machine. She looked at Bill again, done capping his cup, and heading, politely throwing away the straw wrapper, towards their door out of this odd place.
Tammy grabbed a medium cup but let go. Four more hours on the road. Might as well grab a large.
She sat her hand on the large cup, but didn't grip it. Above the large cup was an extra-large size. And then, above that, a ridiculous 72oz. "XtraXtraLarge." She grinned at it, and reached up.
She pulled up and then towards herself. It was a massive cup.
Again she grinned.
"It's free. Might as well go all the way."
She then dispensed a full 72 ounces of milkshake into the plastic cup.
She took a whiff of the milkshake, and then took a sip.
"Pretty cool, still."
She took another sip and grabbed a lid in her other hand.
She headed out to the car with Bill.
"You really gonna drink all of that, Tammy?"
She lifted it up closer to his face.
"Maybe."
"Really?"
She took a sip.
"Maybe. Maybe not. But we'll see, you know. It might be too much, might not."
She looked at his 16 ounce water cup and smirked.
"What if we get stranded, Billy-Boy? That water ain't gonna last you. We'll have to share this. Taste?"
He looked at the massive plastic cup and waved his hand.
"No thanks, hun. I'm fine with my water."
She took another sip, through her teeth, smiling at him.
He narrowed his eyes at her, half-smirkingly.
"Tam, by the way... we ARE NOT gonna get stranded. Car's running very well. Just tuned it up. We're gonna make it to your sister's fine."
She choked down the last of the milkshake she had in her mouth, laughed, and nodded.
"I'm just sayin', honey," she rested her hand on his back, a strange combo of her body heat and the milkshake's cold. "It could happen. And you'll be glad I've got the X-Tra, X-tra Large cup size."
Bill's expression changed suddenly.
