She could see the building up ahead. In the bright light of the afternoon, the
white paint looked dingy…dirty. Just
like what she imagined was inside. Her
heart rate sped. She clenched her thighs
together as she heard the word in her head.
Dirty.
Bella wanted to be dirty.
But she wasn’t.
The light ahead was yellow.
She knew that she could make it through if she sped up. Instead, she released her foot from the
gas. The car slowed and then
stopped. And she looked to her
left. Adult Bookstore. Open 24
Hours. Specifically, Edward’s Bookstore. There were no windows on the building. No way to see what was inside. She wanted to know. She was desperate to find out.
