chapter 1
“no, no, no, no, no, no, not today. You can't do this to me today!!” the car died anyway. It throbbed onto the shoulder of the narrow highway, bucked twice, and gurgled to a halt. sharon's four-inch heels fell on the pavement, followed by tanned legs and a tight, white sheath dress. She looked down at the car, the texas wind pulling her light brown hair out of its careful french braid. She would have to be white. Sharon shook her hands on her hips and skewered the corvette with her enraged gaze. Take the 'vette,' her fiancé, kyle, said. It's a big day. You want to say "yes" to the idea.Make an entrance. kyle had pressed the keys into her hand and pushed her out the door, but she was in a hurry to get out of the city to the gallery where she worked. sharon had agreed with him on the fact that the artist they were promoting classic cars adored classic cars, and he was doing an exclusive with her boss's gallery in austin's little town. Buyers were already lined up. Sharon's job could be huge. If she could get there, she would. Sharon screamed as she kicked one of the tires, then retaliated. Her shoes were sturdy, but they still hurt. It's perfect. Kyle could be generous, and he had the filthy riches to do so, but he also forgot about little details like tuning up cars. Sharon sped around to the passenger side of the bus, avoiding his lazy highness.She reached into her purse and reached into the open window, clutching her cellphone. Today is a day. Today, it had to happen. She pressed numbers with her thumb while bent into the car, but the phone made a beeping sound that indicated it was out of range. Sharon backed out of the car and shook the phone high. “come on.... ” says the narrator. Find me a signal.' and she saw him. The man stood about ten feet from the vehicle, not on the road but in the thick texas grass surrounding it. That grass was dotted with blue, yellow, and white flowers, and it was also a nice vibrant green this time of year. A girl spotted a tall hunk of a man, shoulders high, under a black and red soco novelties t-shirt by the side of the road every day. Watching her. I'm really looking forward to seeing her.
