3 Chapter 3

How long does Becca sit frozen like this behind the vehicle’s steering wheel, unable to move, in deep contemplation of starting the car’s engine and driving home to her muffled marriage and eleven-year-old son who she believes is psychologically imbalanced? Is this fine? Is this unbearably crazy? Is this the life she wants?

What she knows about Tuckie, who is currently doing things with her car that she wishes the girl would share with Becca's body. No siblings as far as Becca knows. No parents in Grayville since they live in SoHo. And Tuckie enjoys painting. Tuckie is half French, enjoys rugby, and plays the guitar. Also, Becca knows that the girl wants to paint for a living and have a show in New York City. Her status on Facebook says that she's single. She enjoys chocolate, Taylor Swift, cheerleaders, and older women.
