Missouri

One week later

Booker stared ahead at the stretch of road, keeping the steering wheel steady with just his wrist.

“Still drives me nuts when you do that,” Caitlin said.

Glancing over, he smirked. “’Cause y’think it’s poor drivin’ or ‘cause it secretly turns ya on?”

Turning her attention back to her book, she said, “Both.”

A laugh rumbled deep in his chest, and Caitlin fought not to grin herself.

The plains around them were vast, dotted with only a few trees, and the rich greens and yellows of late summer were a comfort to watch blur past her window.

It had been hours since they’d seen even one Geek stumbling around in a field, so Caitlin had decided to read while the light was still good.

Nicole shuffled in her sleep, stretched out in the back, and Booker glanced behind him to check on her.

It was a subtle habit Caitlin had witnessed him do hundreds of times, and it never failed to warm her through and through.

Reaching across, she sunk her fingers into his hair at the nape of his neck, softly combing it as he drove. She smiled to herself as he leaned into her touch.

“Hair’s getting long,” she murmured, raking her nails over his scalp.

Booker hummed, lips twitching. “Don’t suppose a barber shop survived the end of the world, huh?”

“That’s alright. I actually like it.”

Looking over, he arched an eyebrow at her. “Oh yeah?”

“I’m not saying you should let it go totally wild,” she said with a chuckle. “But a little length is nice.”

Facing the road again, he smiled and shifted in his seat so she’d have better access to the back of his head.

“But if it starts to look like a mullet, I’m taking a pair of scissors to it in your sleep.”

Booker laughed. “Sure thing, darlin’.”

They drove in relative quiet, the drone of the engine becoming white noise.

With her hand resting on Booker’s neck, Caitlin started reading again.

“What’s on the lesson plan for today?” He asked.

“Soil irrigation,” she said. “If we’re going to grow a healthy variety of crops, we’ll have to make sure they get the right amount of water.”

“Whaddya wanna grow?”

Glancing up, she scanned the surrounding land.

“I’m not sure. Tomatoes, cucumber, peppers…” She looked down at the diagrams in her book. “Wheat and corn go a long ways. Maybe even soybeans.”

“Gonna have your own tofu factory?”

“Maybe, if it means you won’t eat my share.”

Making a disgruntled noise, he said, “I’d never eat your share of anything.”

“I know, Jack,” she said, pulling a little on his hair. “I was kidding.”

“Hm.”

She was just about to reassure him again, but as she looked up something in the distance caught her attention.

“Slow down,” she said, leaning forward. “What is that?”

Easing off the gas, Booker squinted at the large square of white in the middle of the road over a quarter of a mile away.

“Is that a sign?”

“I can’t tell,” she said. “Pull closer? But be careful.”

It felt like a crawl as they drove towards the mysterious object.

Caitlin could finally see it was a huge piece of plywood, painted white with a message scrawled in dark letters.
