The Wedding Pact Page #3

I keep looking in vain

day after day I ride

towards the setting sun

on the road traveled less

- Okay, so driving

across country

and just showing up

at her place with no warning?

Some people

might think it's crazy.

Or creepy.

But I think it's romantic.

toing and froing

gotta get 'em now,

gotta get your goal

gotta figure out what the hell

you know on your own

time to push the envelope,

runnin' out of rope

slipping down the slope,

looking for answers

I can't seem to find

- Bam.

Uh!

hey

- hey

I'm wastin' my time

get some more of the story

into the grind

gotta get 'em now,

gotta get your goal

gotta figure out...

- Wow, you're a long way

away from home.

Hey, there.

- Uh, hi.

- Where ya headed?

- Uh, San Diego.

- You look exhausted.

How long you been driving?

- Sheesh.

About 11 hours.

- What's your name,

patriot?

- Mitch.

- Hey, Mitch.

Nice to meet ya.

I'm Laura.

- Hi.

- You know, I run

a bed and breakfast

just up the road.

- Oh, well, uh...

That's okay.

- Come on.

I didn't meant to startle ya.

But you just look too cute

not to meet.

I got a nice bed

and a hot shower.

I was even gonna cook.

You like spicy?

Yeah, I don't know.

Mmm. Oh, my gosh.

That was fantastic.

Thank you.

- That's sweet.

There's more if you like.

- After 11 hours of driving

and three glasses of wine

and a meal like that...

Just point me to bed.

I am done.

- Mmm. Bed.

That sounds real nice.

Oh...

You really are cute.

Don't move.

- Wh...

- hello.

Oh, hey, Rudy.

It's my brother.

It'll just be a sec.

- Okay.

- Really?

That's kinda last minute.

But I have a guest here.

All right,

I'll see ya in a bit.

My brother and his friends

get together once a week

and they lost

their usual place, so...

He asked if he could

come here.

But I said he had to be

real quiet.

Um...

I'll just...

Probably...

- Okay.

Who is she,

and what's her name?

- What do you mean?

Uh...

Elizabeth.

I haven't seen her

since college,

and we made this pact

back then

that if we weren't married

in ten years,

we were gonna marry

each other.

So here it is ten years

later,

and, uh...

I'm gonna track her down.

- You made the old friend

college

ten-year pact?

- Sounds kinda dumb

when you say it like that.

- No, it is kinda dumb.

- Maybe, but...

I have to try.

- Are you sure?

- If I had a nickel

for every time a beautiful

woman like yourself

tried to take me to bed,

including right now...

- You'd have a nickel?

- Maybe a dime.

- Well, she's lucky

to have you,

even if she doesn't know it.

- Thank you.

- I would love to find

some guy

to take me away

from this life.

- You? I'm sure you have
