Summary
Arthur frowns down at his glass. “So it didn’t mean anything to you, then? You like tryin' to hook up with truckers or something?”
John realizes he’s digging himself into a bigger hole than he’d meant to. He runs over his options but when he looks back at Arthur, he can see a tinge of hurt under his curiosity.
“I don’t hook up with truckers,” John says flatly. “I don’t do much hookin' up at all, actually. I just read some signals wrong that night. Thought maybe... Well, you’re a nice man. I knew that since I met you.”
_______________
John is adrift. Twenty-five and nothing to show for it, he’s a college drop out, his car barely runs, and his trailer leans to one side. He works a dead-end warehouse job in the hottest town in the desert. All in all, he’d call himself a failure. The moments he looks forward to most are when trucker Arthur Morgan passes through town. It’s not enough, though. John wants more out of life, and he wants more from Arthur Morgan.
