When she dragged open her curtains the next morning, there was no happy birdsong or sunshine to greet her. A light, summer rain had settled in under lurking cloud cover. Overnight precipitation had turned the motel lawn into a sickly green moat, and anything beyond a quarter of a mile was utterly indiscernible through the morning fog. Lindsay dressed sullenly and headed down to a mediocre continental breakfast that she ate alone, all the while aching for Clint’s arrival. In the end, she finally plodded upstairs to his room, and knocked at his door for nearly a minute before getting a muted answer from him. Words were exchanged to the effect of “food getting cold” and “shower first, coffee with breakfast second,” and she returned to the lobby to wait for him.

By the time he’d finally come downstairs to eat, Lindsay had forced herself back into good cheer. No stupid weather or little car wreck was going to bring her down, nosiree! Even the gloom of the morning was staved by the small fire glowing merrily in a hearth that tried very hard to look luxurious. When Clint walked into the room after breakfast, Lindsay smiled and nestled happily into the faux leather of her armchair. He joined her, and they sat quietly for a while, staring into the fire, serenaded by the gentle thrumming of rain outside.

If she hustled, Lindsay knew she could keep time from becoming a rare commodity for her. She had checked her bank account while Clint had fed himself; the math suggested she had three or four days, depending on how much of the car repair bill insurance covered. She’d found some good prices on low-end rental cars, and the motel bill wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Fey was almost certainly still in the area, and it was hard to miss a vehicle like hers. A bit of nosing around, and they could even have her by the end of the day. Then she’d be curse-free, and might even consider giving Clint a chance to prove whether he’d really grown out of the stupidity of his younger days.

“Are you ready to wrap this up, Clint?” she asked, looking up. For an instant, she saw him staring openly at her, but he ducked away as soon as they locked eyes, and pretended to tie his shoe. She kept her giggle inside, but grinned all the same. Yes, this was all but in the bag.
