Last Stop Before Tulsa
The sign promised pie and coffee.
We hadn’t spoken since Amarillo, just miles and radio static between us. When I pulled into Shelly’s Café, the bunting snapped in the July wind like a dare.
Inside, the waitress called everyone “hon.” Outside, the cement chef grinned forever.
Over cherry pie, he finally said it. “I don’t want to go back.”
Neither did I.
Route 66 shimmered beyond the window—long, open, forgiving.
We left Tulsa off the map and followed the road instead.
