“Never to pick up a hitchhiker.” I look at Gray. “In someone else’s car. It’s rude.”

He starts to smile. “You do notice the time, right?”

I look down at my cell phone and feel a frown setting in. “We’re never going to make it to Flagstaff.”

Gray shakes his head. “Your little detour put us back a few hours,” he says and looks at me. “Didn’t you say Mike was playing a few shows?”

I nod. “They’re supposed to be there for the next two nights.”

Gray turns and looks at his car, parked along the curb down the street.

“We’ll catch them tomorrow,” he says.

I look at Gray and dare to ask. “You’re still going to give me a ride to Flagstaff?”

He nearly laughs at the doubt in my voice. “I’m not going to abandon you in Amarillo. Although I’m sure Officer Desperado in there would appreciate it,” he says and points his thumb at the police station.

“Hey, look on the bright side. At least we got free pizza out of this,” I point out.

This time Gray laughs. It starts out light and then it builds. He laughs so hard he has to sit down on the steps. I start to laugh, too, but mostly I’m just watching him laugh. It’s my favorite sound. The words I love you almost slip out of my mouth but I catch them on my tongue and hold them in. It feels as unnatural as holding my breath.

Gray looks up at the darkening sky and his laughing subsides.

“I’m not driving eight hours tonight,” he says. “And you are hereby suspended from any driving privileges.” He points a finger at me.

I nod and try not to pout. “I guess I deserve that.”
