"Hey there sexy sisters! What will it take to make you break your vows?" called out the young black man.
The two young nuns ignored him as they walked by the cheap hotel room. His friend, who was sitting on the car out the front chimed in, "Come on baby, you didn't need to become a nun, I'll take you to heaven!"
They continued to walk by, "Frigid penguin Bitches!" they heard one of the young men call out behind them.
One of the nuns was blushing, her pretty, rosy face framed in the white wimple.
"Just ignore them Alice, they're like little boys looking to get a reaction," said the other.
"Yes, I know Lucia."
They got to the small front office and entered, making the bell on the door chime. The young women stood at the front desk for a few moments before the manager appeared. He was in his forties with unkempt blonde hair and rough stubble over his chin. He looked the two of them over with his cool green eyes and smiled, "Hello again sweet sisters. I hope you found the accommodations to your satisfaction."
They actually had a lot of trouble sleeping due to noisy neighbors who were quite fond of using profanities, but they didn't want to raise the issue with the manager. "Quite suitable thank you Mr Roberts," said Alice.
She produced the room keys and handed them to the man. He deliberately rubbed her soft pale hand as he took them, and she jerked it back. He smiled at her again, "Call me Randal. So you're off again today huh?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Where are you girls from anyhow?"
"St. Paul, we're with the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels."
"Right, what are you doing down this way?"
"Selling bibles and religious items, and accepting donation for those in need."
"Speaking of which..." Lucia chimed in, "We noticed that the bible in our room was looking a little worn. Perhaps you would like to purchase new ones from us. They're of high quality and reasonably priced, and the money would go to a good cause."
"Oh, I wish I could sweet thing, but money is a little tight for me right now. I had only just finished rebuilding after the tornadoes a couple of years ago. But tell me, are you heading back up Minneapolis way?"
"Yes."
"Well, I have a friend, also in the motel game, off on the interstate near Boone. Nice Christian lady by the name of Grace. I think she may be after just what you're selling."
"Boone? Where's that?"
"A few hours up the highway, turn east on the Interstate Thirty."
Lucia looked at Alice and she shook her head, "No, we're not supposed to leave the route that was set for us."
"Well that's too bad," said Randal. "I just thought you could help each other out."
"We appreciate that sir, now if you would excuse us, we should be getting back on the road."
"Of course, you take care out there sisters. God bless you and all that."
"God bless you sir."
Soon the two young nuns were heading down the highway in the old blue station-wagon. Alice was behind the wheel and Lucia was sitting in the passenger seat next to her.
Lucia yawned, "Well, I'm glad to leave that place behind."
"Yes, Mr Roberts seemed a little..."
"Creepy? ...Sleazy?"
"Lucia, Mother Meredith would not like us speaking ill of someone like that."
"Mother Meredith is not here."
"No, but Jesus is."
"Jesus would probably agree with me."
"Lucia!" said Alice in a playful scalding tone.
"The rooms had thin walls, didn't they?"
"Yes."
"How about those two copulating, they were being quite vocal."
"Don't remind me."
"Oh God! Oh God! Yessss!"
"I said don't!"
Lucia laughed, "He probably paid her for it too."
"The poor soul, I will pray she finds the true path."
"You have never been close with a boy, have you?"
"No, never. But you told me you had been...close before taking your vows. How close were you?"
"It was a boy I had known through grad school, and we were in love. I was pretty horrified that I had fallen in love while considering religious life. I was scared to go to my nun mentor and tell her. But you know what she said?"
"No, what did she say?"
"Wonderful! Enjoy it. If we lose our capacity to fall in love, we lose our ability to truly open our hearts to God. Of course, there came a point where I had to choose between my love for this boy and my love for God, Sister Beverly was a wonderful guide through that time."
"So did you...express your love physically?"
Lucia turned to her and smiled, "I'm not saying anything, I'll leave you to speculate on that."
"You...are not a very nice person."
"Ooh, careful Sister Alice, that was almost an insult."
Alice just shook her head and drove on. They passed a lot of farm-land around this way as they made their way north up the highway, vast fields with their golden crops swaying in the breeze and other areas with their neatly ordered fruit trees. A large truck roared past on the other side of the road. Lucia eventually spoke up again, "So, will we be turning off toward Boone to sell some of our fine products to this Grace lady?"
"No, Father Mackintosh told us not to leave the route he planned for us."
"But on his planned route we have sold very little, I don't think it will even be enough to cover the expenses of our trip. We won't have any money for the poor, this trip would have been a big waste of time."
"I don't think that's the whole point of this road trip anyway. It's like a rite-of-passage for young novices. To get out and see more of Gods world and interact with his people."
"Yeah, we can do that at Boone, and make some money to help the poor while we're at it."
"We took a vow of obedience remember, Father Mackintosh told us to stay on this route."
"And we will, after we make a little detour. He didn't tell us not to go to Boone specifically."
"That's a technicality, and you know it. We're not going to lie to Father Mackintosh. We will tell him if we go. And if we go, it will have to be for the right reasons, not for our pride."
"So you're considering it? ...For the right reasons, of course. We will only be doing it to help others. What do you say Alice?"
"I...I don't know."
"Well I want to go, but you're driving, so it's up to you if you turn off or not."
Around an hour later, they both saw the sign for the turn-off onto the Interstate thirty. Alice took in a deep breath as she struggled with the decision. She let out a sigh and put on the indicator to turn left.
"Good, we may achieve something on this trip yet," said Lucia.
"I just hope we don't regret it."
"God is with us, what could go wrong?"
The old blue station-wagon headed west along the I-30 through more rural area. Eventually they saw a battered old sign which readโ"Grace's Truckstop Motel, five miles." It had an arrow pointing off the highway.
"That's the place," said Lucia, "He said her name was Grace."
They turned off the highway and drove on until they reached the place. It seemed to be miles from anywhere.
"A little out of the way isn't it?" said Alice, "You would think it would do more business on the highway."
There was a large building adjacent to the road, It appeared to be a gas station, travel store, truckers lounge, bar and restaurant all in one. There were a couple of trucks parked off to the side and a few cars out the front. The place seemed to be relatively tidy, and quite basic in its layout and aesthetics.
The nuns turned off the road and pulled up into the gas station. Both of them got out of the car and were glad to have the chance to stretch out. It was late morning, getting close to midday. The sky was clear and it was quite warm. Alice started filling the car with gas while Lucia looked around.
She wandered into the shop and the man behind the counter stared at her. He was a short, pudgy, ugly looking man who appeared to be in his mid twenties. "Good morning sir," said Lucia.
"G...good...good morning, s...s...sister," he said with a stutter.
"Where's your bathroom?"
