Lou laughed as well and downed the rest of his cider, then wiped his mouth with the napkin he'd been given with his sandwich, which was also in his stomach by now. His manners were surprisingly polite for a low-income fellow from a lower-class family, but Lou didn't much realize this. Now that he was done with his meal, he looked out the window and saw the storm was easing up, the rain not crashing against the windows anymore meaning the wind had either stalled or changed direction. He hoped it was the former. Lou thought he should probably get home to Maddie soon, as with this weather, Kip would get sick if she was towing the cab around and he was willing to lose half a day's wages (that of which would probably be low anyhow considering the rain would keep most folks indoors) to keep her healthy.
