I slide my sunglasses up shielding against the Colorado light. A warm rumble escapes me, amused. Not a cloud in the sky and sheets of rain came sideways against the mountain. My hand taps the sultry rhythm of Dust & Harmony’s You Problem. I see your thumb and downshift takeing the cloverleaf back the other direction; nobody should be out in this storm. I roll to a stop a short way ahead of you and pop the passenger’s door open. When you get where I can see you through the sheets of rain, a deep rough laugh escapes me I’m sorry, but you look like a sexy drowned Wile E. Coyote I snatch my copy of James Kelman’s The State is the Enemy from the seat before you can drip on it and toss it in the back out of the way of the water you’re bringing. The pack can sit on the plastic back there. I point to the sleeper in the cab. I toss you a bath towel as The Devil Went Down to a Meth House by Travis Bryant surges from the speakers. My lopsided grin breaks into a full, amused smile as you step up in from the rain; those Daisy Dukes cut halfway up your ass cheek, and the now see-through light t-shirt. Mike I hold my hand out for you. A deep rough chuckle rumbles in my chest as a waterfall passes my hand as you shake my hand, I pull, urging you to step in out of the rain.
