THIRTY SIX

I hardly have to time to take my first drag to calm my nerves when I see the lights. At this hour, it seems it just us and them on the freeway. I hate to do it, but I pull over, flick my cigarette out the window, and reach into my jacket pocket.

Her eyes are wide as I glance over. "I would've given you the world, Inez."

The face I so love crumples as she registers what I'm holding. "No," that velvet voice cracks. "Please, no. No no no-"

And I'll be damned. Her blood is almost as warm as her body when I'd lie next to her in bed.
