Chapter 30

Phoebe stared at her in amazement. “Wow,” she said. “You look like someone who just got out of jail. Relax a little bit, will you?”

Kimberly stared at her and smiled. “I’m happy,” she said. “I need this. After everything I have been through, I need this. And I definitely don’t need anyone watching my every move while I’m at it.”

“Alright,” Phoebe said as she smiled back at her. Even if she wasn’t entirely sure of what they were doing, she loved this fun part of Kimberly. “Whatever you need to get this out of your system. Just be careful.”

Kimberly nodded. The cab was toasty warm from the pickup’s excellent heater and they were on their way somewhere with cowboys and country western music. Kimberly turned on the radio. Wouldn’t you know it was set to a country station?

A duet. A man and a woman singing about the hot and dangerous love they once had and how they wanted that again. Kimberly turned the sound up good and loud and let the music fill the cab.
