“What for?” I ask, grabbing my purse to fish them out of the bottom.
“We’ll tow it to the shop and I can look at it tomorrow.” He thumbs behind him and I see a giant mechanic shop in the distance.
“You don’t have to do that.” I start to protest.
“That’s the perks of your job. It makes you sorta part of the club. The club takes care of their own.” Bella smiles down at me as I finally find my keys and hand them to Ringo who walks away yet again.
“He’s a good guy.” Bella captures my attention again.
“He’s really...”
“Handsome?” Bella giggles and I grin at her.
“I was going to say quiet.”
“Yeah but you were thinking what I said.” She laughs as I feel my face flush with heat. “He is quiet. For good reason but that’s not my story to tell. Just when he’s talking, give him time to finish what he’s saying.”
I stare at her for a few minutes trying to read between the lines before I finally shake my head in answer. I’ll try to figure out what she means later. Right now, this headache is becoming something fierce.
A minute later, Ringo is climbing back into the driver's seat.
“I’ll see you tomorrow. Get some rest, everything will be okay.” Bella says.
“Thank you, Bella.” I say genuinely. She has got to be the nicest person I have run into over the years. Certainly anyone else would have fired me on the spot and had my car towed away.
We get back on the road but only drive for a few minutes when we pull up to a cute little cabin tucked back from the road. Even without any lights on, it looks so beautiful lit up by the light of the moon.
“Wow. You don’t like staying out here?” I ask.
“Sometimes. When the noise is too much.” Looking over at him, I know exactly what he means.
Sometimes the noise of everything around us gets too loud to deal with. It’s the cause of the migraines that I get sometimes. Like the one I’m starting to get now. I prefer to listen to nature. The natural sounds around us.
Too bad I’ve not been able to relax long enough to do that in a really long time.
“Come on. I’ll help with your son.” He says, getting out of the truck.
