He hesitated and cleared his throat. “I didn’t tell you before, but we split up a few months ago. You were right. It was a big mistake marrying Gi...a. She cheated on me and spent money on foolish things. I had to take out a loan to pay the rent a couple of times. I finally smartened up and threw her out. Were getting a divorce.”I was not surprised she cheated on Andy, nor was I sorry their marriage failed. In my opinion, Andy was better off without her. I tried to sound sympathetic, “I’m sorry. Looks like we’ll have to backtrack to the blacktop and hitch a lift to the gas station where we gassed up,” David said.David knew that this edict would likely send Michelle into another rage but she was too occupied with getting out of the creepy diner to become any angrier than she already was.Just as they got to the door that they both heard the faint one-note drone of an engine. They looked at each other hopefully and hurried out the door and back to the Explorer. The road they had come down. "Do you know what I'm going to do to you?" "Yeah, you said you were going to rape me, please mister I don-" I quickly shoved the sock back in her mouth. "Now Alice I'm going to ask you a question, and I expect an answer, nothing more and nothing less. You got it?" She nodded her head the tears subsiding a little. "Now this can feel very good for you or it can hurt like hell for you. Which will it be?" I took the sock out of her mouth. "The first one, but are you goi-" I put the sock back. But what I wanted to say is that I would like to invite you, your wife and Bob to dinner. Now I am not a very good cook but I hoped you would accept invitations to Marcello’s in town.” Marcello’s was the finest and most expensive restaurant in Ant Hill and the Ranger winked at Roy and then said.“I am delighted to accept. I don’t think my Sarah has been out for a nice dinner in a long while and I am sure she will be as happy as I am.” Roy still could not really believe how much his situation had.
