Snow fell from the sky in sheets, blanketing the road and trees. Gage drove slowly, and we seemed to have good traction, but it was impossible to relax. For his part, Gage didn’t seem bothered by the weather at all. He just sat there staring straight ahead.

Guilt hit me. He was the one forced to drive, yet I wouldn’t even let him listen to music? “We can turn the radio on if you prefer. Want me to see if there are any good rock stations out this way?”

“I don’t mind the quiet.” He glanced at me before quickly returning his eyes to the road.

“I appreciate the ride. I probably should have said that in the beginning.” I hoped I wasn’t coming off as completely over dramatic.

He laughed. “It’s not a problem, but thanks for the thank you. I don’t mind the weather, but it’s nice to have some company.”

I loved his laugh. It was so deep and sexy. What about Gage wasn’t sexy? “Do you have any big plans while you’re home?”

“Big plans? In Mayville?” He arched an eyebrow.

“Ok. True enough, but if there’s anything going on you’d know about it.”

“Joey is throwing a party tomorrow night. Want to come?”

Joey would have never invited me himself, which meant I shouldn’t go. “Oh, that’s okay.”

“You don’t want to go with me?” Sometimes it was hard to know whether Gage was teasing or not.

“I don’t want to be the uninvited guest people make fun of.”

“Make fun of? Who would make fun of you?”

“Come on, Gage. We both know what your friends thought of me.”

“What? You weren’t in my crowd, but that doesn’t mean they made fun of you.”

“Cam did.” That guy had been the bane of my existence at one point.

Gage grinned. “That’s because Cam liked you. He asked you out and you shot him down.”

“What? To homecoming my sophomore year? That was a joke. A mean one.”

“A joke? You thought that was a joke?”

“Of course. A guy like him didn’t ask a girl like me to dances.” Nor did a guy like Gage.

“It wasn’t a joke. You hurt his ego.”

“Oh.” I wasn’t sure if Gage was telling the truth or not, but I didn’t care enough to push the subject. I remembered crying myself to sleep the night Cam asked me out in front of about twenty kids.

“You should come tomorrow night. I promise I won’t ditch you or anything.”

“Maybe.” I shrugged.

“Maybe means no.” He looked over at me. “Say yes.”

“Gage!”

He looked forward just in time to hit the brakes. A second longer and we would have collided with the car in front of us.

In a delayed reaction Gage put his hand in front of me as if to hold me back. “Fuck.” The car had no lights on and straddled the right lane and shoulder.

“Agreed.” Any lighthearted conversation was over. This was no longer a leisurely drive.

We sat there waiting for the car to move, but it didn’t. “It’s broken down. That’s why we didn’t see any lights.” Gage backed up and moved into the left lane to pass the stopped car.
