Summary
“I know you said you live out here,” John says, leaning out the window of his truck. “But do you ever get into town?”
“Not really,” Gale shrugs. He sees something that might be disappointment flit across John’s handsome face before that bright grin is back in place, crinkling his eyes and his forehead and making it hard to fight down his own. “Some supply runs here and there.”
Johns nods, still smiling. “Well, maybe I’ll see you around sometime?”
“Don’t count on it,” Gale tells him, letting his lips curve up slightly. John laughs and waves and Gale’s hands twitch as he watches a breeze blow a curl out of place and over his forehead before he’s rolling the window up and pulling away. Gale watches his tree laden truck pull out the gate and onto the street and feels a strange sense of sadness settle over him once he’s out of sight.
