Moths fluttered in my headlights over the long grass of the ditch. I
was still clutching the wheel, my heart pounding.
I’d swerved to miss a raccoon in the fog and careened into a shallow
embankment on the side of the road. I was okay. Shaken, but okay.
I tried putting the car in reverse, and my tires spun uselessly. Probably
mud. Ugh. I should have bought the SUV instead of the sedan.
I turned off the engine, put on the hazards, and called roadside
assistance. They told me it’d be an hour wait.
Perfect. Just perfect.
I was still a two-hour drive from home, stuck on some lonely stretch
between the funeral home I’d just left in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and my house
in Minneapolis. I was starving, I had to use the bathroom, and I was in
shapewear. Basically the grand finale to the worst week ever.
I called my best friend, Bri. She answered on the first ring. “So? How
was hell week?”
“Well, I can tell you how it ended,” I said, reclining my seat. “I just
drove my car into a ditch.”
“Ouch. Are you okay?”
“I am.”
“Did you call a tow truck?”
“I did. An hour wait. And I’m in Spanx.”
She sucked air through her teeth. “Satan’s underwear? You didn’t
change before you left? You must have run out of there like you were being
chased. Where are you?” she asked.
I peered out the windshield. “I have no idea. Literally the middle of

“Did you mess up your car?”
“I don’t know,” I said. “I haven’t had a chance to get out to check. I
don’t think so.” I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. “You know what? Hold
on. I’m taking these off.”
I got unbuckled and reclined the seat as far as it would go. I took off my
heels and tossed them on the passenger side, then reached around to unzip
myself. I wiggled out of the attached bra straps and leaned all the way back
and pulled my black cocktail dress up around my hips, hooking my thumbs
into the top of my Spanx.
There was nobody out here. I hadn’t seen another car on this road in a
half hour. But just as I started to wrestle the nylons down, headlights poured
through my back windshield—because of course they did.
“Shoot,” I breathed, moving faster.
It was like trying to get out of a full-body compression sock while being
timed for speed. I heard a car door slam and I got frantic, fighting my
Spandex restraints down to my knees under the steering wheel and then
kicking out of them just as someone came up to the window.
A large shaggy dog popped out of nowhere and jumped up on my door
