Chapter 9

Nebraska

Mike and Kirsti

Just shy of the Nebraska state line, Mike watched Kirsti draining the tank on a Honda Ridgeline, sporadically pausing to blow on her frozen fingers. Thank goodness they were heading south, where it would be warmer, and where snow accumulation would be unlikely.

There were worse people to be going through this crazy world with, that was for sure. And since she was mad at him, she was barely talking to him, and that made him like her even more. When she wasn’t trying to talk about the things that were going on in her mind, and the things she wanted and liked and didn’t like, and the book she was reading, and what she thought about how things were going with ‘them’, she was far more likable. She was cute, and cutest of all when she wasn’t talking. Unfortunately, neither was she putting out, and that needed to change. He’d tried to touch her a couple times over the last few days, just a passing hug or squeeze here and there, and she’d frozen him out so hard he’d feared he might get frostbite. There were going to be plenty of desperate women around now, and she needed to remember she would be in a bad spot without him to protect her. And if she kept up this whole silent treatment thing, well that was perfect.

Kirsti nodded, and grabbed a pack of baby wipes from her purse and tried to scrub the smell from her hands, but it lingered. A splash of hand sanitizer somehow made it worse, and she gave up and got in the driver’s seat. As anxious as she was about meeting the fabled Violet, whom she had spent more time Facebook stalking than she cared to admit to, she was looking forward to being somewhere she could take a shower. She needed to make sure Vi liked her, and she wanted an opportunity to apologize to her. She’d had no idea Mike was still married; he’d straight up lied when they’d first met. Maybe best case scenario Violet would understand and forgive her, and they could team up and this sleazy jackass could move on down the road, to some other unfortunate sucker. She needed to secure her place in the world, independent of Mike.

In the door mirror she saw him screw the cap on the gas tank and wipe his hands on his pants. For a minute she considered starting the engine and flooring the gas pedal,
