Chapter 6

I don’t want to say goodbye to Plainville, but Park is awake bright and early on Saturday morning. I know this trip is important to him, but I’m getting more nervous by the second. It’s one thing to meet your boyfriend’s parents over dinner or something. But we’re going to be staying at their house. Will they make us have separate rooms? Will they let us sleep in the same room? Both options sound awkward. I tell myself to suck it up and deal because this is important and if I want a future with Park then I’ll need to know his family.

I take a quick shower after my alarm goes off. When I get out, Park has just returned to the hotel room, carrying two coffees.

“Breakfast is served,” he says, pulling a folded napkin out of the pouch on his hoody. “Danish, donuts, and coffee.”

“We have a coffee maker in here, you know,” I say, pointing to the complementary coffee maker and coffee right here in the hotel room.

He scoffs. “Do you know what happens to those gross things?”

“No?”

“I read an article once that said flight attendants wash their underwear in hotel coffee makers.”

“Coffee pots?” I say with a laugh. “How is that possible?”

Put detergent where the coffee goes, and it pours hot soapy water into the glass part to wash your dirty underwear,” he says, curling his lip.

“Okay, I will never look at hotel coffee makers the same way again,” I say, laughing. “Actually, I’ll never look at any coffee the same way again.”

When we get back on the road, heading toward Arizona, I try to start out the day in a good mood. Yeah, driving for twelve hours straight will suck, but if I try to be happy maybe it’ll go by quicker. I tell Park to roll down the windows and turn up the music and we jam out while we’re cruising.

When it gets a little cold, he turns on the floor heater and the blast of warm air mixes perfectly with the chill on my face. Arizona is beautiful and barren, and I’m pretty sure I’m in love with it.

We stop for lunch around noon, and since Park thinks we’re making great time, we go inside the little diner instead of getting our food to go. When we get back to the truck, I’m texting with Bayleigh and I don’t realize something is wrong at first.

Park curses under his breath.

“What’s wrong?” I say, ignoring the new text from Bay.

Park turns the key in the ignition. “My truck won’t start.”

“How is that possible? It’s like less than a year old.”

He shrugs and tries again. The engine doesn’t even sound like it’s trying to start.

“Are you out of gas?” I ask.

He shakes his head. “We have more than half a tank.”

“Do you know what it could be?” I ask nervously.

He shakes his head. “I hope it’s nothing serious.”
