Lupe was still listening as he walked out of the barn. No cars were running, the train was distant, and their voices carried. He stepped back into the guest room, pulling a bag out of the closet and put his other clothes in it and some item's he'd picked up while he was staying there, including Alice's brother's watches. He walked back into the kitchen, making himself another piece of bread slathered with jam, even though he wasn't hungry, and ate it.
He decided to turn in early because he would have to get up very early to catch his train. Tucking his ticket in his back pocket, he fell on the couch face-first with all the candles and lamps still burning brightly.
