Traveling and Staying in an Open House

Katie Hill and I were traveling but we had two cars. We were in an "open house" for sale and had apparently squatted there the night before. Katie told me where she was going, told me to join her there, then took her car and left. After that, I had lots to pack up and clear and I kept worrying what I would say if the home's owners showed up. I had my bags ready to go, but it was going to take two trips to get them in my car. Out the window, four cars pulled up and some people got out. There was a black man, a little black girl, and some white boomer men. I decided to walk my bags to the car casually as if I was supposed to be there. Night fell as I went down a long sidewalk by a pier. I passed the white boomers who were holding fishing gear. They barely looked at me. I woke up while returning to the home to retrieve the rest of my bags.
