        “What about your spark plug wires?” Lance said.

            She turned and her face became slightly red. “I, uh...I forgot my purse,” she lied.

            Lance smiled, his straight white teeth glistening in the sun. Then he nodded and winked.

            Her eyes shot wide open in astonishment; she coughed once.

            Lance bowed and walked toward the parts house.

            Enin didn’t put the key in the ignition. She didn’t adjust the mirrors. She didn’t put on her seatbelt. Did that kid just wink at me? Like wink-wink? Like a guy winks at a girl? No way. Of all the people in the world to take an interest in me, does it have to be some egotistical, inactive kid from Cali?

            Lance Morris, a young man on the run from himself and his religion, finds himself in Magna, Utah without a car, without a job, and without a friend in the world. But soon he finds himself hiding from more that just his painful upbringing. Lance’s impulsive behavior thrusts him into a dangerous situation. To make matters worse, he inadvertently drags his new roommate’s quirky sister into the mess.
 
            Minding her own business has never been Enin Woodson's strong suit, so when a new kid shows up at her brothers house she is all about making sure he doesn't do anything to negatively influence her already less active brother. At least that’s what she means to do. The reality is she just ends up alienating her brother even more.
 
            Enin and Lance soon discover; however, that while each may have their own personal agendas, when the going gets tough, even the tough do better as a team.
