It was a good burger. Missy had taken wanted to stop driving
for a bit so they got out of the car, found a burger stand, and, sat on the
side of the road munching away. It was such a good burger. She knew it was
strange, but that was really all her brain would allow for. The burger. It was
all her brain was wiling to comprehend in that moment.
“We could go to Tahiti. I’ve always wanted to go there!”
Alice just stared straight ahead and kept chewing.
“No? Okay… What about… Paris!” She laughed. It didn’t sound
as real as her laugh from the day before though. The sun was beginning to come
up and they had been driving for ten hours straight. Missy kicked rocks around
as Alice kept chewing.
“Come on, Al… Help me out here. I don’t want to make all the
decisions on my own. We have to have a damn plan!”
She sat back down next to Alice and sighed.
“Can I have a bite?” she asked smiling.
Alice didn’t break her stare but she handed the burger to
Missy.
“Tahiti. I want to go to Tahiti.”
Missy stopped mid-bite and smiled. Alice smiled too. Missy’s
phone began to ring, and Alice’s stomach began to sink. It was a text from someone
named Kindra Lee. Alice looked up at Missy concerned and Missy laughed.
“Don’t worry. It’s just my ex-girlfriend.” She gave Alice a
wink, stood up, and walked back to the car. Alice rolled her eyes, shoved the
last of the burger in her mouth, and followed.
