EXCERPT

I turned away, bag in one hand, my purse in the other. Two hundred dollars in my pocket and no idea where I was going next. I just knew I had to get away. Phoenix was no option. I never looked back, never heard the truck start, never heard his voice again.

I walked out of the parking lot, down the street and down the entrance ramp to the interstate. It only took a few minutes with my thumb out for a big rig to stop. I ran up to the truck, opened the passenger door, swinging up into the cab.

     “Where you headed little lady?” Drawled the driver.
     “The question is where are you going?”
     “I’m headed to Salt Lake.”
     “Well, if you don’t mind some company I sure could use a ride.”
    “If I had minded the company I wouldn’t have stopped.” He drawled again only this time with a wide toothy smile.
      I threw my bag up in the sleeper, stowing my purse at my feet. I stuck my hand in my jacket pocket and felt the money. My eyes started to fill with tears.
     “You OK there?”
     “Yep, I’m OK. Just something in my eye.”
     “Something like a broken heart?”
     “You might say that.”
