MEGHAN
OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS, UTAH
1 YEAR BEFORE
Despite the crushing weight of him, my brain screamed at me to run.
Run, it demanded as he grunted and pulled the scarf—my scarf—
tighter around my neck.
Instead I lay frozen, like a mouse under a cat’s paw, until the vise of
pressure and pain suddenly released.
He looked at me for a few seconds as he got to his feet, his mouth
turned down in disgust. He was breathing hard. His pale face hovered
above me in the darkness, the distinctive mole on his cheek a stark
punctuation mark.
He let the limp, pink-and-green scarf fall to the ground beside me.
Run, my brain roared again. RUN!
I still didn’t move. I didn’t even blink.
He turned toward the car he’d precariously parked on the shoulder
of the rutted dirt road.
I could only imagine what he’d left in the trunk. But if I didn’t
move, I knew I’d find out.

So that’s when I finally ran, bolting into the shadows of the pines
that beckoned with hiding places, if not safety.
I scrambled down a steep embankment toward a dry stream bed,
pushing myself faster and willing myself not to fall, no longer even
conscious of the pain in my throat.
I wasn’t sure where I was going. All I knew was that I needed to put
as much distance as I could between myself and the spotless blue Kia
Sorento. And more importantly, I needed to get away from the softspoken, fine-as-hell man who drove it: The needle, I’d called him when I
told Sharesa about our upcoming date. As in, the needle in a deep
haystack of bachelors on the MatchStrike app: divorced dads with kids,
complicated custody agreements, and cringey gym-bathroom selfies.
Jimmy was different. With his dark amber eyes, a close-shaved
beard along his angular jawline and a hard-part haircut, he was a dead
ringer for Chris Hemsworth.

When I showed Sharesa his photo, she’d actually squealed.
I, on the other hand, had kept my expectations in check. I wasn’t
new to the online dating scene. I’d taken an Uber to Gracie’s Spot in Salt
Lake after my shift and braced to meet Chris Hemsworth’s creepy cousin.
I even texted Sharesa on my way. Call me in an hour with an out? I could
see the text bubbles appear immediately after I hit send. Whatever, you
know you’re thirsty. I rolled my eyes. More bubbles. … I’ll call <3.
We talked in the back booth of Gracie’s until last call at eleven. I
texted Sharesa from the bathroom that there was no need to rescue me
after all. She’d replied immediately, like always: Thirrrrrsty.

As I washed my hands, a paper sign taped to the bathroom mirror
caught my attention. “On a date that isn’t going well? Do you feel unsafe
or just a little uneasy? Ask for Andrea at the bar. We’ll make sure you get
home safe.” I smiled as I dried my hands, grateful I didn’t need to ask.
Not tonight. Not with him.
