I give Hulk a quick nod as he pulls out onto the road and fall in line behind him. The roar of the combined Harley engines of the club is deafening, but makes my heart race with an excitement I haven’t felt since riding on the back of my dad’s bike.

After the emergency crew and police arrived, we had all stood back and watched as the man from the truck was loaded into an ambulance and whisked away to the hospital. The police had taken our statements and thanked us for our quick action. They figured that he’d likely fallen asleep at the wheel and said that by the time the fire crews arrived, it would have been too late.

After that, Hulk had insisted I drive on to the next town with them to stop for the night. He was worried I would go into shock. Quite frankly, so was I. The thought of a hot shower and a stiff drink made my choice for me. Now, here I ride, amongst a long line of motorcycle men, ready to end this trip for the day.

After living all those years in monotony and boredom, these last couple of days have exhausted me. Watching that man get strapped to a gurney made me reflect on my decision to start fresh. Life can change or be over in the blink of an eye, and this man’s distress has only cemented my decision. I don’t want to be taking my last breath and looking back on my life, wondering why I had squandered it away.

We pull into a small motel in the middle of a tiny little town in Manitoba and I follow the guys into the reception area where I get myself a room. I turn to Hulk with a smile and hold up the magnetized key card. “Room 201.”

He nods. “Meet me out front in thirty.”

A thrill runs down my spine at those simple words said in that growly voice. Granted, I do not know this man at all, and the words we’d exchanged so far were few and far between. The thought of him waiting out front makes me very shy, all of the sudden.

“Okay,” I say, barely above a whisper. I turn and hurry to my room.

I drop my bag on the bed and head straight for the shower, stopping only when I catch a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror. God, I look like hell! I have a serious case of helmet hair and my face is covered in dirt smudges and sweat. There’s no way Hulk had ulterior motives for asking me to meet him out front. This face, mixed with the thick stench of smoke does not scream “Fuck me.”

Shaking my head, I turn to the shower and do what I need to do to get myself ready to meet a bunch of badass bikers for dinner and a drink. With exactly one minute to spare, I step out the door and see Hulk leaning against the wall, a cigarette dangling from his fingers.
