I hit the road for Ohio after an uncomfortable breakfast with Gina and her father. Sometimes a clean break is the easiest way. I needed some time to sort out my thoughts, and the drive would give me space to do that.
I don"t know what I was expecting, coming up here, but I never thought I would be heading back to Texas with a wife. I didn"t expect to fall for her, but I guess that"s what happened.
I only know that when I stood on her porch and said my goodbye, I never wanted to do it again. This shouldn’t be too hard to accomplish, as the trip to Willoughby will be a quick one. I"ll be back tomorrow.
I pull into town after dark and take care of a few details. I call Layla to check in and see if any new jobs have come through. She doesn’t answer, but she’s usually busy most nights.
