It’s always a bit of a blur if he’s being honest, their time spent in liminal spaces that all feel the same even when they’re multiple states away from each other: motel rooms that feel like they’ve been transported to the 70s, or crammed together in the cab of one of their trucks, or once pressed together in a single stall shower at a truck stop, skin slick with water and sweat and ivory bar soap.
