CHAPTER 6
The following morning, Nicole woke up to a beam of sunlight shining into her right eye between the curtain and window frame. She slowly sat up and wiped the hair away from her face. An odd sense of confusion came over her and she thought that she had had the best dream in ages. Then she remembered that it all had actually happened. She stood up and allowed her joints to crack before heading to the bathroom to brush her teeth and hop in the shower.
Nicole had never been on a four-wheeler before, so she didn’t know what to wear. In the end, she decided on the reliable old T-shirt and shorts. She abandoned the flimsy flip-flops, though, and wore her boots instead. After scarfing down a bowl of cereal, she glanced at the clock. It was only 9:08.
Is it too early to head over there?
