Summary: Road trip.


The truck swerves to a stop, spraying up gravel and dust that drifts in through her open window. Kate coughs, glaring in Sawyer's direction while rubbing her chest where the seat belt has snapped back into her.

He shoots her a crooked grin, sorry, the dimple in his cheek deepening beneath a day's worth of stubble, and winks. "Which way, Freckles?"

This is their fork in the road.

She leans forward and shields her eyes against the sun's glare, glancing first in one direction and then the other. Wide open space. Endless possibilities.

The road map is a wrinkled mess beneath her feet.

They'll never use it anyway.
