Gears

She can’t be serious. At least, I don’t think she is. I wait a few moments for her to laugh or give me some sort of indication this is a joke, but she doesn’t. “You’re bein’ serious right now?” I ask her while cocking a brow.

Immediately, she nods. “Uh, yeah. Why wouldn’t I be?”

“Because it’s a god-awful idea. Your father won’t be pleased.” I’m simply stating the facts and I know she doesn’t want to hear it.

“Do I look like the type of woman who does everything her father wants?” She shouldn’t have asked that question.

I look her up and down. Instead of answering, I ask her a question, “Do you really want me to answer?”

Sydney smacks me on the arm playfully before her face freezes over. She’s obviously terrified, so I smile lightly at her. “It’s alright. I’m not going to break apart, you know.”

She stifles a laugh and nods. “Yeah, sorry, I just—I got worried. I mean, you’ve been through a lot and me hitting you just . . . I’m sorry.”

“Sydney, relax. You’re getting your panties in a twist for nothin’,” I tell her and she shrugs her shoulders.

“Whatever, I’m only trying to be considerate. If you don’t wanna go out and have dinner with me, you don’t have to.”

Fuck. “Dammit, I didn’t say that. I’d love to go have a good meal with ya. It’s been a hell of a long time since I had one, honestly. But I sure as hell don’t wanna look like this.” I grab a tuft of my hair and Sydney snorts.

“Alright, let me get your hair cut and we’ll go get some grub.”

“Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.” I smile from ear to ear, cautiously enjoying the last twenty-four hours of my life. It’s been nice to be able to take a shower, sleep on something where my back isn’t digging into a piece of wood, even to have a blanket and fresh clothes provided to me. The fact of the matter is I know this will change. I won’t be able to live like this for much longer. Sure as hell not when Zane finds out what his baby girl has been doin’.

Sydney starts yammerin’ out orders and I listen up. At my age, I know not to listen to women. They’ll fuckin’ gut you for even lookin’ at ‘em wrong. The woman has to be half my age, but I’m not stupid.

I sit back and relax as she cuts my hair and by the time she’s done, I have a military-style buzz cut. I run a hand over my hair, and it feels pretty damn good if you ask me. Within a matter of twenty minutes, we’re both headin’ down the stairwell into the bottom of the barn, go through the door, and I’m in the passenger seat of her car. Holy fuck, this is crazy.

She turns on her headlights, throws the car in reverse, and then puts it back in drive. We drive for a while
