Space occupies my mind. I consider the distance between you and I. Leagues and years create an impassable chasm. Unable to find answers, my head is as good as empty.

“Where do you think you’re going?” she rasps, hot whiskey-tinged breath on my ear. She stands too close. She always does. I suppose with a body like that you don’t have to worry about intruding; most guys don’t mind.

“No,” I sigh, “you don’t.”

“I think I do,” she practically sings, “and I can take you there. I’ll be your…guide.”

“Darlin’,” I turn to face her, “The last thing I need is for you to be my pilot.”
