ETTA

Driving back toward the Sagebrush Motel, Etta was even more conflicted than she’d been on the way to the diner. They’d both fallen into silence as the wind whipped through the windows and Etta looked out the window, much as she’d done on the way out, but the world zipped by and she didn’t bother to try to remember the way they were driving.

The food had been good, but she didn’t want to go back there again. She had a feeling it would only bring up bad memories. Listening to Randy talk about Jesse had put a bad taste in her mouth, warring with the burgers they’d had and the ice cream that they’d shared for dessert. She just couldn’t see the same things that Randy saw and when she’d tried to tell him that, she’d seen flashes of the same temper she’d seen before.

She’d dropped her arguments then. It was easier to let it go. Easier to let things pass until she could get back to her room and then she’d try to figure out why they could see two different sides of one person. There were differences, of course, but there was just such a gap between their opinions. Like Grand Canyon different.

“Hey,” Randy’s voice brought her back from her thoughts, “you look beautiful in the moonlight.”

She smiled and turned to look at him. “Thank you, Randy.”

“Gorgeous, even.”

Her cheeks warmed and she felt his hand cover hers again. Goodness, she was exhausted. “Thanks.”

It only seemed like a few more minutes passed before he turned into the parking lot of the Sagebrush Motel. The song on the radio was Pillow Talk and she tried to ignore the words and sound of the music as it traveled over her skin like a touch. Etta drew in a deep breath and sighed, almost eager to get out of the car. “Home, sweet home.”

He laughed. “Tired?”

“Yes.” She smiled at him. “I want to thank you for taking me to dinner tonight, Randy. It was… really nice.”

“Nice?”

He parked in a spot at the end of the row instead of the spot that was open next to her car.

“Yes,” she cleared her throat, “it was very nice. Thanks.” She reached for the handle of the door but she felt Randy’s hand settle on the back of her neck. She hadn’t expected that. Not at all. She turned. “Randy, please. I-”

He kissed her.

He was impossibly close. She felt like he’d only pulled her an inch or two but she felt him pressed tight against her from her belly to her chest. “Ra-”

She couldn’t say anymore than that.

Randy was kissing her.

And she couldn’t quite wrap her mind around the idea.

His lips were on hers, his hand on the back of her neck and with a click she was free of her belt. And then she was closer, his hand on her waist.

And then it was on her ribs.

He moved his mouth away from hers and she heard his voice rasping in her ear. “I want… I want to go inside with you.
