“Jeff, it took me a lifetime to find you. Don’t you how much I love you?”

“Susan, please don’t. I think it’s just better if you try to forget about me. I don’t care about you – I gotta go.”

Susan dropped her cell phone to the floor of the car. “Love conquers all, asshole. Maybe I’ll just have to show you just how much I love you!”

She accelerated the car, weaving in and out of traffic. When she reached the edge of town, she pulled onto a country road and pressed the accelerator to the floor. She continued past 120 miles per hour, the frame of the car shaking as she drove down the narrow back roads. The road took a sharp turn that she couldn’t negotiate and the car flipped sideways. It rolled again and again until it came to rest upside down in a snowy field. Susan lay there for several minutes drifting in and out of consciousness.

She lifted her head as a pickup truck drove by. The truck stopped and a man in a cowboy hat ran to her side.
“Hold still, miss,” the man said, “I’m gonna get you outta here.”
