flew over the potholes on County Road 85 in her best friend’s huge, flamered Ford Fairlane convertible.
The woman known in Freedom, Kansas, as the “Pride of the East Side”
dug her demure French-manicured nails into the red-leather-wrapped
steering wheel as she shoved the pedal to the metal. The big American
classic car bucked and roared beneath her sensible suede loafer. The rainsoaked wind raced through and ravaged her perfectly straightened hair.
Maybe I should just embrace being bad, she’d whined into her margarita
during her first night back in town while she floated in her best friend’s
pool. It’d taken three margaritas to say such a thing, even to Cynthia
Madsen, who’d known her since grade school. Having known her since
grade school, Cynthia had laughed so hard she’d fallen off her float.
Gasping and clinging to the side, she’d ticked off Gillian’s options for being
bad: Tattoos. Biker bars. Streaking. Skinny-dipping. Join a cult. Break a
heart.
Gigolos. So many gigolos.
That wasn’t what Gillian had meant by being bad. She’d meant being bad
like being a failure. Like being cursed instead of blessed. Like being
incompetent at successfully steering the course of her life and, instead,
crashing it into her two innocent children.
Right now, with those two innocent children safely tucked away on a
weeklong Disney World trip with Gillian’s parents, Cynthia’s version of bad
was as good as any. Head pounding but resolute, Gillian had pointed to the
Fairlane this morning as the car she wanted to borrow while she waited for
her Lexus SUV to arrive from D.C. Cynthia, owner of Freedom’s only
remaining manufacturing facility, had an entire garage of classic cars
collected by her father and grandfather and didn’t bat an eye.
Now, Gillian urged the Fairlane faster as she rocketed past rusted barbedwire fencing and bullet-holed speed limit signs. She wasn’t worried about
traffic. County Road 85 connected Freedom’s ten thousand souls with the
next town over only if those souls were too young, drunk, or horny to use
the old highway or the new gleaming interstate that barely acknowledged
either town. The pitted two-lane road was prone to flooding thanks to its
long stretch beside the Viridescent River, which marked Freedom’s eastern
border. State and county officials had thrown up their hands at trying to
keep the two apart, just like parents had given up trying to keep teenagers
out of Old 85’s abandoned fields and foreclosed farmhouses.
