Ride
Sara nibbled on the side of her finger, phone heavy in her left hand. She couldn’t believe she was actually going to do it. This new app, Ride-a-long, was blowing up as a quick way to earn cash but driving around random people just seemed ... strange. Her best friends suggested it, more so to try to help her meet someone. It was 2009 and her friends were all on the dating app train. Not her, she kept to herself and preferred it that way. She glanced around her 2010 Lexus RX 350, proof that she was doing just fine on her own. Her attention turned back to the app, she took a deep breath and opened it. Three bubbles popped up on the map, three possible riders. Sara clicked on each one, not seeing which one made more money but which one felt right. She lingered on the last one, something drawing her to him: Tim.
