I pulled her to ave her one of those soft kisses she apparently liked I lifted an eyebrow at her and lifted her up so I could set her back in her own seat so she could wiggle back into her clothes

“I already told you I will do what needs to be done Always”

She still see her pants back up her legs

“I’ve never set out to ruin your life” She said it so quietly that if the car had been running I wouldn’t have heard her “I just want to help you I want to do the right thing”

I tucked myself back inside my slacks and pulled my destroyed shirt the rest of the way off I reached out and pulled on a lock of her dark hair and gave her a lopsided grin

Oh so slowly she shook her head no without looking atbetween her feet and she hite as a ghost Since I’d gotten the answer I wanted, I didn’t push her I think ere both crazy, and I hadn’t decided yet if it was the good kind or the bad kind Only time would tell
