Noir IV

We drove all day. I slept most of the way. When the sun set we stopped at a greasy spoon.

Where are we going? I asked. You'll know when we get there, she said. That's not an answer.

We came to a small lake and she pulled into the driveway of a cottage. We walked to the lake. She took off her dress and dove off the pier. Are you coming in? She asked. It's too cold, I said. It's refreshing.

Will you go inside and get me a towel? She asked. The door was locked. The door's locked, I yelled. Break a window.

Lightning preceded thunder. Hurry up I'm freezing, she yelled. I walked back to the pier. I'm not breaking the window, I said. It started raining. She got out of the water. I'll do it myself, she said, and picked up a rock.
