Christmas Road Trip Doug Wolven

Ken leaned over to kiss Sue and only caught her cheek. She didn't make her clever turn at the last moment, catching his lips. She wanted to-always wanted to kiss him, but she chose to play cat-and-mouse, keeping an ace in the hole. But she wouldn't go on with dead-end kisses, not-going-anywhere, empty promises. Susan Wright and Ken Polk are about to celebrate their third Christmas together. It's about time Ken pops the question-but Sue's dreams aren't even a blip on his radar. But Ken is hungry for one more Barbershop Christmas show; it's the third in two weeks: "I thought you liked these shows-can we talk about this later?" he says just when she's puckered and waiting. Arriving at the theater, taking their seats, the wheels come off the wagon-front of the audience, center-stage, and it's "You go your way, and I'll go mine!" She's given him enough chances; it's time to hit the road. She and roomy, Lani, are off to Michigan, not knowing Ken is off to his aunt and uncle's back east. "I've got to think, got to get away." Filled with twists and turns, trips to jail, and bone-chilling winds and snow, Christmas Road Trip dares to ask . . . when you reach a dead end, get out and walk.
