"It does?"

"Yes. But as soon as I turn my lights off, it comes right back on, except then it's wrong, and I have to
adjust the time until the next time I turn on my headlights. Also, I lost the car lighterтАФ"

"How could you loseтАФ?"
 "I just looked down one day and it was gone, all right? Why don't you get a spotlight and shine it into my
eyes? Anyway, every once in a while sparks will shoot out from the lighter, which is kind of distracting."

"I guess so."

"My horn doesn't work, either."

"Now, how did that happen?"

She ignored the question. "Also, my radio only gets the local pop station. Which wouldn't be so bad, but
they play about six Lenny Kravitz songs each hour." She sighed again. "I used to like Lenny Kravitz."

Dave blinked slowly, like a lizard. "Why haven't you bought a new car?"

"It was my mom's car," she said simply. "She loved the wretched thing."

"Oh." He gnawed his lower lip a moment. Everybody in town knew what had happened to Mrs. Gunn.
Nobody talked about it. He'd have felt sorry for her even if she wasn't such a dolly. And Sarawas cute,
with those crystal blue eyes and the flyaway mass of red curls. Her skin was perfectly white, like fresh

"A few days of purgatory!" she shouted, startling him. That was another thing about Dr. Gunn. You'd be
having a perfectly normal conversation with the woman, when she'd start screaming. It was true about the
temperament of redheads, and that was a fact.

"Meantime, I got a leaner I can let you have for"тАФat least forty a day, or his boss would kill him. Okay,
thirty. Twenty-five ninety-five and that was his final offerтАФ"for nothing. On account of you getting such a
bad shock and all."

She smiled and he nearly fell back into the tire pile. She was cute when she was ranting and fussing and
being a pain. She was completely gorgeous when she smiled. Her dimples popped into view, and her
eyes crinkled at the corners and made you wonder what her mouth would taste like.

He smiled back.

What are you doing, Davey old pal? You got as much chance with Dr. Sara Gunn as you've got to grow
tits and fly away.

"That'd be great, Dave," she said with real warmth. "I'm sorry about the tantrum."

"It's not the first one I've seen. You gotta temper on you like a rabid polecat." He said this with total
