As they drove into Grand Rapids, Vinnie finally brought up the elephant in the room or, well, truck.

“Where the hell are we going?”

Tomas grinned at him as he switched lanes to move around a slow-moving van. “I can’t believe you’ve waited this long to ask.”

Vinnie sniffed and looked out the window. He’d been enjoying their conversation, but it wasn’t like he’d been unaware they had been getting farther and farther away from Ridgewood. He knew for a fact that, for his date with Mason, Tomas had taken him bowling and to a restaurant in town. He’d been expecting something similar, maybe not a carbon copy of the date, but something along the same lines.

But instead, they’d been in the car for a little over an hour, and he still had no clue where they were going other than into the city.

“Are you going to tell me?” Vinnie finally asked, looking back over at him. The sun had set, but with the ambient light of the city and the headlights around them, he could see Tomas clearly.
