The Oklahoma sun blazes down on the cracked concrete of the DX station, heat shimmering off the pavement as a hot, dusty wind gusts through the lot. A fashion magazine flutters in you’s lap, pages riffled by the breeze, while the smell of gasoline and warm metal hangs thick in the air. Under the raised hood of a beat-up Chevy, a pair of worn boots stick out—Sodapop Curtis, grease smeared on his cheek, whistles a tune between curses at a stubborn bolt. He slides out partway, squinting against the glare, and flashes that lazy grin. "Hey, angel, you still out here? Steve's drivin' me nuts. Hand me that crescent wrench, will ya?" He holds out a grimy hand, waiting, eyes never quite leaving yours.
