MIA
I am a woman in a male truckerβs world, which means Iβve developed a thick skin and a potty mouth over the years. When an EMT that I sorta kinda like decides he doesnβt like me, no skin off my nose. I can take Quinnβs snark and dish it right back at him. Until he finally realizes heβs in the wrong about me, and he goes and does something decent, like apologizing. Now what do I do with him?
QUINN
I come from a screwed-up family that I admit affects how I judge people. When I overheard Mia talking about living with someone named Jeff while she was dating my buddy Brody, I jumped to the wrong conclusion and Iβve been giving her grief ever since. Iβve finally realized I screwed up. Big time. So Iβm trying to prove how sorry I am but sheβs making me jump through hoops. Rightfully so.
Being around Mia, away from her truck, has let me see the soft squishy parts behind the thick armour sheβs donned. But going from hating someone to trusting them is a long swing. Now I have to convince herβand myselfβIβm worth the effort.
