Country Intersection

~One~

The fierce wind is blowing through my hair as Misty's car is cruising through the outback country roads. The mid-size Jeep Wrangler was always a fun ride because you can remove the windows and the rooftop, even though it made you feel a sense of nakedness. We are heading to Misty's house to switch vehicles. The ride back to her house is a bit rocky because of the gravel roads. One final twist of the steering wheel into the drive and the she places the car in park. The speedometer drops when she turns off the engine. It dropped just like a helicopter would from the sky.

Once my feet hit the ground from jumping down from the Jeep, I heard the voice. I heard that familiar gentle yet firm voice that belonged to the man who considered himself my protector. The voice repeated because I didn't hear him the first time.
"Mia, where are you heading?"
