.....
Stumped, Sylvia looked over at Kendrix at that.
He said nothing but only took a gander at her. It was a yes since he didn't turn it down.
She nodded and said, "Okay."
With that, they walked to the door, and she asked him, "Mr. Trevino, how come you're in this area? Do you have relatives living here?"
He nodded.
"I see. I wonder who." She was trying to ease the mood between them by finding something to talk about.
"They live quite some distance from here," he answered.
He didn't say which of his relatives was staying in the area. She felt frustrated not being able to find out more about him.
The two only walked a few feet before Kendrix stopped and turned around to look at Sylvia.
Since she was looking at her feet while she walked, she almost bumped into him.
Luckily, she stopped in the nick of time.
She looked up, only to find him looking down at her.
The massive difference in their height overwhelmed her.
His presence was commanding.
