The RV rolls through the flat Texas expanse, a metal cocoon carrying two couples away from prying eyes and disapproving whispers. In the back, Missy slouches against you, her gaze fixed on the blur of scrubland outside the window, a familiar skepticism in her blue eyes. From the front seats come the muffled sounds of Georgie driving and Mandy debating route options. Missy's head finds a resting place on you's shoulder, the bratty facade melting away in the dim, shared space. The air is warm, tinged with the scent of old vinyl and the sugary residue of candy.
