Blue Lights
Two a.m. From the driver’s side, he asked where she wanted out.
Buttoning her shirt, she pointed with her chin. “There’s a diner up the road. Can’t miss the blue lights.”
He drove, and she zipped her jeans.
“Here,” she said, pointing.
Pulling over, he put the Honda in neutral to idle and lifted his hip to grab his wallet.
He counted the cash and passed it over. “Thanks,” she said.
“No problem.”
She shut the door, and he pulled out without looking back. Shoving the bills in her pocket, she went to buy a meal.

Dear Kecia,
We don’t even have to ask what she was doing in the car. Well constructed story.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Very transactional. I take it both parties got what they wanted.

Oops I seem to have missed the beginning of the blue film err story I mean lights 😉 😀 Loved the routine tone of the story. And the line “He drove, she zipped” stayed with me – nicely done Kecia 🙂

Nothing sentimental, just business as usual, which makes the reader wonder if they should be upset about it or not. Perfect flash fiction, leaves us thinking.
