Waiting till he’d walked around the front of car, never for a second thinking of running him over, Laurie Ann waited till he’d gotten in and shut the door. Shifting the car nearly perfectly from first, second, and quickly into third gear. ”Don’t forget to bucket up.” The only words she dared speak, as she maneuvered around one of the three horse drawn carriages in the area. She didn’t talk for a few moments, instead focusing on the drive ahead and the ever looming storm clouds ready to let loose at any minute. Once free of the area where the horse drawn carriages were known to traverse, she opened the Audi up and let it purr into fourth gear as the road was taken out of Main Street area and off towards the woods, where their home had once been…where it still stood, empty. She could smell the musk of him on the clothes; it mingled so well with the fresh leather scent. She’d always remembered leather when it came to him, oil and grease too, but her favorite had been the leather. Downshifting into first and then pulling over when the road turned to grass and gravel, Laurie Ann put the car to idling then turned to face him after she was sure the clutch was in place and she’d not send either of them careening off the side of the road into a building or ditch. If she hadn’t been so nervous to have him with her in the car she’d have drove straight to the house, but that sounded odd, considering the circumstances. A deep breath taken before she finally spoke, ”Okay I’m listening.” And she was, she was willing to hear his end of the story, she owed him that much. Hands still clutched at the steering wheel her right hand bare but the left still possessed the white gold ring, with the sapphire engagement stone. She’d worn it on chain while teaching or modeling, but when home she’d always had it on. It’d been a nice deterrent from the single looking men too…all she’d had to do was flash it and they’d keep walking. Staring the ring now Laurie Ann waited to hear his reasoning, excuses, or whatever it was he needed to say. She didn’t even know what she’d say in turn, she wasn’t even sure she’d be able to drive any further, and at that very second the sky opened up and it began to pour. | |
