Wyn

Are you ever going to tell me what’s going on?

Me

I’m still kind of in the middle of something

Wyn

The middle of something The middle of what? A date?

Me

I think. I’m not really sure what to call it. You can help me decipher it when I call you later.

Wyn

And when might that be?

Me

No idea

Wyn

Damn. I really need to get my own life, don’t I?

I let out a laugh.

“What’s funny?” Brooks asked.

“My friend back in New York. She’s ragging on me about not keeping her in the loop. She’s just wondering what’s going on with me, and I haven’t had time to tell her.”

“You haven’t talked to her since you’ve been in town?”

“Not really. I mean, I texted her that I’d gotten safely toSpokane and rented a car, but not so much about the moose, the ditch, etcetera.”

“Am I part of thatetcetera?”

“Maybe.”

“Would that include me waking up in your bed this morning?”

“Moving on,” I said flatly.

He grinned. “Speaking of cars, you said something that I haven’t been able to forget.”

“What’s that?”

“You said you’ve only had your license for three weeks.”
