Tyler
lost track of time as he drove. The nice thing about being a writer was he
could work while he drove, using the time to plot out his next book in his
head. Which was a lot more work than he’d done in reality.
The
idea he’d gotten in Kansas City hadn’t solved all his problems with the plot.
Now if he could just work out the rest of the kinks, maybe he could get the
book turned in on time.
When
he glanced at the clock on the dash, he realized it’d been thirty minutes since
they’d hit the interstate and he had yet to see Nevvie. Usually, she would wait
until the kids were engrossed in the movie and then join Tom up front while he
drove.
He
fought the urge to pout over that. She must be tired. Perhaps she’s napping.
He turned down the radio. “Nevvie,” he called out, “I really am feeling a bit
peckish. Could I trouble you for a sandwich and a bottle of water?”
He
felt his irritation grow when he called for her again, and then a third time and
still no response. He was about to really raise the roof when he heard the door
to the bedroom open. Thomas stumbled out, holding on to the galley counter as
he made his way up front where he finally dropped into the passenger seat. He
looked like he’d just woke up. His hair was disheveled.
“Ty,
what in hell are you hollering about out here?”
“Well,
I’ve called out for Nevvie to see if I could get a sandwich and she’s ignoring
me. Is she really that cross with me over me driving?” Tyler glanced at Thomas
and didn’t understand the odd look on his face. “Thomas, what’s wrong?”
He
did look a bit more awake now. “Ty, I’m gonna ask you what might seem to be a
really stupid question, but I want an answer anyway, okay?”
“Of
course, love. What is it?”
Thomas
arched an eyebrow. “Where the hell are Nevvie and Dad?”
