Truck Gripped Quote by Marina Adair
““Propping her knee on the hood of the truck, she gripped the back lip of the hood for leverage and pulled herself up. She perched on top of the hood on all fours, took a bold breath, and ever so carefully scrawled across the front windshield: I OWE YOU A SCREW—Damn it! Her lipstick, warm from the day’s heat, broke and rolled down below the wipers””
