Valerie sighed and pushed her door open. “I’ll bring you back, gas can in hand.” She hauled her big purse off the floor and slammed the door.

Carine dipped her head into the car and raised an eyebrow at him. “Huh.”

“Huh, what?”

“Might work.”

“What might?”

She pointed to him and then hooked her thumb toward the lady waiting in front of the car who was paying them no mind because she was staring at her phone screen again.

Carine tapped her chin pensively, leaned in close, and whispered, “Intellectually, she’ll keep up with you with no problems. I know how bored you get. No one keeps your interest.”

“I didn’t say I was interested.”

“Whatever, Tim. I get it. You’re not looking for anyone, but I’m trying to throw you a bone here.”

“Why?”

“Because she’s leaving anyway. You don’t want strings attached? You’re not going to get any from her.”

“Huh.” He rubbed his beard, considering Carine’s words.

No commitment meant that in the end, she wouldn’t be disappointed. Tim was tired of not being what women wanted, and being commitment-averse was a pretty fucking lonely place. Maybe Valerie was just what the doctor ordered.

“You can repay me later,” Carine said. “I might need a ride somewhere.”
