The purr of Sean’s motor sounds as I tighten the last bolt. The heavy repeat
of his engine and crunch of gravel help detract from the noise that’s been
echoing in my head for the last twelve fucking hours.
It shouldn’t surprise me anymore—laying witness to acts of disgusting,
power-drunk men in a position of so much authority that they become bored.
Once that happens, they start testing the limits to see just how much they can
get away with. And they do, drumming up and living out the sickest of
fantasies—most involving preying on the weak and defenseless.
So, no, while it shouldn’t surprise me—no matter how hard I try—I can’t
ever find a place inside myself to fully numb to it. I’m not a praying man, but
as of late, I find myself begging for that numb every fucking day.
Relieved Sean’s here to distract me, I peer at him around the hood of the
Mazda I’ve been working on since I gave up the possibility of sleep. He
saunters toward the bay with a relaxed posture to envy and a shit-eating grin
on his face.
“Get that piece running?”
Stupid question.
“Not a stupid question,” he quips, tossing his cigarette down before
grinding it out with the heel of his boot. “If you managed the unmanageable,
I would go so far as to call it miraculous.”
Unlocking the hood prop, I drop it down as he situates himself behind the
wheel to get his answer. Rounding the car, I move to the other side of the
driver’s door where he sits in the shredded pleather seat, one boot planted on
the garage floor. Plucking my shop towel from my jeans, I wipe my fingers
clean as he turns the key, and the ancient car instantly sparks to life.
Grinning, he lifts his chin toward me. “You’d be a half-decent mechanic if
you were a little less scary and more conversational.”
I roll my eyes as he continues.
“That’s what, three or four sentences and no reply?” He jests, killing the
engine before climbing out and snapping the door shut. “I rest my case.” He
scrutinizes me. “Where did you go last night?”
I shrug. “A drive.”
“Yeah? See anyone?”
I jerk my chin.
“Isolation isn’t always good in your case. My door is only feet away from
yours.”
“Wasn’t in the mood to talk.”
“Yeah, toddlers behave the same way when they get upset.”
He reads my posture and sighs. “Going to be that kind of day, huh?” He
shakes his head in irritation.
