“Floor it,” Dane said, slamming the car door. “Go. Get out of here. Now.”
Heath hesitated for a moment and waited for Dane to buckle his seat belt. He didn’t, just stared out the window with his head lowered so his straw-like hair covered his eyes.
“Where are we going?” Heath asked as he reached across to buckle it for him.
“Anywhere.” Dane tried to mask his sniffle with a cough. “Just … drive.”
Turning the ignition, Heath nodded. He slipped the car into gear then his hand into Dane’s.
