“Oh shoot. Sorry. Mia, this way.” He picked up my suitcase, opened the quad cab door, and tossed it in. Then he opened my door and held out his hand. I looked down at the hand as if it was dipped in acid. “Mia, Sugar, I’d never hurt you. I’m a little out of sorts but if you come back to the ranch, we’ll get you set up and Cyndi will make everything better.” He offered a small smile and kept his hand out.
When I put my hand in his I felt that weird sensation again and something nudged at the frail edges of a memory. It was just on the surface, like when you can’t recall the name of a song but you just know what it is and it’s on the tip of your tongue.
I stepped into the cab and sat down.
“Who’s Cyndi?”
He smiled huge, the big megawatt smile that again, was unnervingly familiar. I know I’ve met this man before. Had to. Maxwell barreled his large form into the cab behind the wheel, put it into gear, checked his mirror, and zoomed out.
“Cyndi’s my wife.”
