Off to work

Ethan decides he hates walking.

He's not sure if its because of the storm, but the air has a distinct, gross quality to it. The summer had been mild so far, with being the first day Ethan thought of as being a bit too warm.

‘Should have brought a hat’, he thinks starting to feel the effects of the sun already. It was still early, and it was only going to get worse.

The sound of a vehicle catches his ear, making him glance over his shoulder. A truck is a ways down the road, coming up behind him. Ethan shifts as far to the shoulder as he can, making sure they have ample room to .

As the truck draws close, Ethan hears a ‘beep-beep’ from the truck, its tires starting to slow. Looking over, he recognizes both the truck and the driver.

Charlie rolls down the window, coming to a stop, “Need a ride?” {if Charlie Sex=true:For a second, she she gives Ethan a look, raising her eyebrows and pursing her lips. Ethan assumes that means she isn't interested in talking about the other night.}

Thinking about the surely horrible walk ahead of him, Ethan gets in the truck.
