Summary
Benson works his hand over his own face, fingers shaking as they smooth his mustache down. “I– if you get in that car, it’s– we’ll have to keep running,” he says hoarsely. “They’re gonna keep looking for me.”
“For us.” Randy nods, his heart in his throat. He doesn’t think he’s ever felt the wind so keenly against his skin, doesn’t think the wet pavement has ever smelled so sweet, doesn’t think Benson’s eyes have ever been so blue. Everything feels electric, like the air before a thunderstorm. “I know. I don’t care. I don’t want to stay in this town any longer, anyway.”
“You mean it?”
“Yeah.” He’s never meant anything before, he thinks. He means this.
Benson starts to smile, then, wild and sharp. “Alright. Let’s get out of here.”
