"We can go for a drive tomorrow. I think I've had too much to drink tonight."
"Seriously, You have a Porsche? You, the man who spends half his life out in the wilderness and nothing on much else."
"I like nice things." He said kind of pretentiously, laughing.
He backed it into the lock up and got out. "Tomorrow we can drive back to Marchant Falls in style. No more beaten up truck."
Ria was confused. "So you're not a poor destitute and failed writer?"
"Oh no. I'm a wealthy, successful author. Sorry I didn't realise that would be a problem. I am still the same man."
Ria hadn't bargained for this. She thought he was just a simple nobody, she fell for a simple nobody who it turned out wasn't a nobody at all. She felt lied to, almost betrayed. "I'm not sure who you are. I spent weeks with you and I know absolutely nothing about the real you."
The tightrope beneath Rance's feet was starting to swing. "I disagree. The man you met up there by the river was the real Rance. The man who owns this car is just an extension of that man. If the car upsets you, I'm sorry but the rest of my life is probably going to really piss you off, but none of it defines me. Don't measure me by my things, but by my actions. Hopefully the fact I've saved your life should speak volumes."
"I'm just confused. I'm not sure what's happening."
"What's happening is you fell in love with me, and now you're finding out that I'm not a poor man. For some reason that displeases you. I'll give it all up and walk away from it right now, for you!"
Ria was shaking. Rance walked to her and pulled her to him. He shouted. "I abdicate my throne! I abdicate my throne!"
Sobbing, she kissed him. "I don't want you to abdicate your throne but it would have been nice not to be quite so surprised. The car was nice but finding out you're actually a wealthy author put me way off balance."
"I rescind my abdication!" He shouted and Ria laughed. "Come on, let's go back to the hotel and I'll tell you exactly how unsurprised you should be."

Feshtaabout 5 years agoAuthorHe isn’t an open book. He’s in the wilderness to be alone and doesn’t feel like sharing his history is going to be a useful endeavour. He wasn’t exactly expecting to find her and his history is painful
UltimateHomeBodyabout 5 years agoBut this is confusing. They have been alone together in the middle of wilderness and he never thought to say anything about his life!
Not lying, but lie by omission which can be just as bad.
Not sure why she didn't just walk away now, she will never be able to trust him to tell her everything relevant in the future. Interesting to see how you write his explanation for this deceit.
