Quote from this book
"Tonight, when Roy picks me up from my job at Piggly Wiggly, he has this look on his face that tells me something's up. I climb into his rusted Impala and Roy shifts the gear in drive and pulls away fast, making a wide half-circle around a solitary shopping cart. On the freeway, he flips on the radio and starts tapping his skinny fingers to the groove of Janet Jackson singing and that's the way love goes. He motions towards the six-pack of wild cherry wine coolers sitting on the car floor and I grab one. It isn't until I've downed half the bottle that he finally speaks. 'Cassandra waiting for you?' Under the law, Cassandra is my wife of three weeks. Roy knows as well as I do that she's waiting for me. But that doesn't stop him from asking his next question. 'Got time for a ride?' He takes his eyes off the road just long enough to look me straight in the face. 'Just a ride," he says though we both know that's not all. And because I can tell myself we're just going for a ride and aren't going to do anything, I say, Sure. I say, I have a little time."

opening paragraph, "Nobody Gets Hurt", by Bennett Capers
