Take You Away: a Novella
“At first I think my brain’s just screwing with me. After all, we’ve been in the car for fifteen hours straight and I’ve downed so many energy drinks that I'm shocked I haven’t started hallucinating yet.

I was beginning to think we’d be stranded out here until that neon light lit up the sky, like a damned angel with diesel... prices dangling out of her ass.

"There, girl," I say quietly, patting the dashboard and yanking out my keys. "You did it." I glance over at the passenger’s seat. Addison—Louisa—is curled up, her head resting against the window. She’s completely oblivious to the fact that we almost had to get out and walk those last few miles, but that’s fine with me.MoreLess
