NATALIE
The headlights of my old van cut through the darkness, the engine
grumbling its displeasure as we finally roll into town.
It’s late, way later than I planned, all thanks to a flat tire and a
stubborn lug nut that decided today was the day to put up a fight. Well, if
I’m being fair, it wasn’t just the lug nut that was being stubborn today.
The van, packed with what remains of my life post-Hayden Kennedy,
groans under the weight of my hasty decisions. Each rattle and creak a
reminder of the mess I’ve left behind and the uncertain future I’m driving
into.
I should’ve hired a moving van. I should have accepted the help of the
kind older man who pulled over and offered to change my tire in the
pouring rain. I should have thought about this whole thing for more than a
few minutes.
But in a fit of independence and a desire to sever all ties with my old
life, I insisted on doing this myself. All of this.
That’s the funny thing about being a runaway bride. On the one hand,
I’m proud of just how much I’ve been able to accomplish on my own, and in
a single weekend, no less. On the other hand, I’m now a half-drenched mess
of a rejected woman—driving a rickety van holding everything I own in
this whole world—back to my hometown of Mariposa.
In short: this is not how I expected to spend the first days of what
should have been my honeymoon.
As I navigate the dark but familiar streets, the neon sign of the twentyfour-hour diner flickers into view, a beacon in the night. Despite the sorry
excuse for food that I know awaits me inside, my stomach growls,
protesting the lack of food since this morning’s gas station coffee and a stale
bagel. At the very least, I’ll have a chance to stretch my legs.
I pull into the diner’s parking lot, the van shuddering to a halt when I
park. I swear I can almost hear it sigh with relief. Both of us are grateful for
the break, I guess. Locking up, I promise myself this is just a quick stop—
grab some food, maybe a strong coffee, and then it’s straight to my brother
Jack’s place.
I can already imagine his I-told-you-so look when he sees me and the
van, both of us looking like battered soldiers returning from war. Better not
prolong that scolding any more than necessary.
The restaurant is warm, a contrast to the chill outside, and smells like
fresh coffee and fried eggs. I order a turkey club sandwich and a large
coffee to go, tapping my foot impatiently as I wait. The sooner I’m out of
here, the sooner I can collapse into a bed and forget this day—and the last
four years—ever happened.
