Carey left the bus first. He gave no reason and no one thought twice about it. They all came and went; it almost seemed the door never remained shut more than five minutes. Molly anxiously stole glances at the clock. Nodding and occasionally throwing in remarks to conversations taking apart around her. At the official passing of ten minutes since Carey left she stands from the couch picking up her purse in the process.

"Where you going mom?" While he was free to escape she had to explain every move. She smiles at Jack.

"Just for a walk. I need some fresh air."

"I'll go with you Molly!" Annie announces as she too jumps from her seat.

"Thanks, but I rather be alone. I'll be back in…' She hadn't considered that. It hadn't been discussed. 'About an hour."

"I wanna hit the road by ten." Ned calls from the dining area as he and Irene looked over the map. Of a route he already had memorized.

"Yeah I'll be back by than." With purse in hand she pulls open the door and walks half a block out of sight of the bus and any witnesses. She stops herself from turning the calm walk into a dash when she sees him leaning against the hood of his car. After tomorrow nights show there would be a four day break between shows he and a few guys from the band we're going to have a little guy's only get away. Having a car readily available was a necessity. And tonight a blessing.

"Hi beautiful." He says to her and kisses her without taking the usual ten seconds of looking in every direction who might be near.

"Hi." It came out shyly. He chuckles softly.

"I know it's not a hotel room but with my mom's budgeting its…" Molly leans forward and kisses him; hard.

"I don't want to talk." She mumbles as her fingers fumble with the waist of his jeans.

"You know the point of car sex is to do it in the car not on it."

"Right now either will work. God I just need you!" She whines and feels twenty years younger. Secret relationship. Hidden kisses. And now soon to be semi-public sex. Even twenty years ago Molly won't have been so brassen.

"Me too Molly. Me too. But trust me inside is a bit comfortable." Carey pulls away and opens the passenger door gesturing her in.
