Summary
Vi pushed her sunglasses onto her head to get a better look at the pump. Late-afternoon sun stretched the shadows across the asphalt, dust dancing in the thick air. She inserted the nozzle, the smell of gasoline swirling around her.
She saw the flash of white in her peripheral vision before it fully registered. A woman in a wedding dress, running in from the train tracks, bare feet pounding the ground, heels gripped tight in her hand. Her hair was pinned up in a sophisticated twist. A few midnight strands had come loose, sticking to her pale face. She looked rattled, but oh, so beautiful.
Vi stood straighter, heart thumping inexplicably fast.
The woman skidded to a stop, breath ragged. Faint smudges of mascara trailed down her cheeks, under wide cerulean-blue eyes.
“Can you give me a ride?” she managed, voice wavering, accent clipped and posh, so out of place in this grimy station.
Vi swallowed. She should’ve asked a million questions—like who, why, where. Instead, she removed the gas nozzle, jammed it back, and opened the passenger door.
“Get in,” she said.
