What I Was Thinking When Tom Stopped For Gas

When Tom stopped for gas, I was thinking that this would be a good opportunity to ask him for the car that I needed to move out West with my wife. I was obviously out of money because business at my shop has  been lacking for a long time. I knew Tom because he came over often to talk to my wife, and I also knew he was very wealthy. So when I saw Tom pull in, I just needed to ask him for his car because I thought I would not get another chance to do so. I was thinking about wanting to go West because my wife had actually been  talking about the idea for many years. This thought came in my head as soon as Tom pulled in, and I swear I was going to ask him until he said yes because this was my one chance. The idea of moving to the West also came with the fact that I needed to become closer with Myrtle. My wife was always going out and leaving me by myself at the shop, so I did not really get to spend much time with her. Tom was always coming to the shop and taking her with him, and I thought that that was not the right move on Tom's part. I am Myrtle's husband, and I deserve to spend more time with her than all the other men in the world combined. When I saw Tom as the driver, I thought that this was chance to assert my dominance as Myrtle's husband and not let her go out with any guy, especially Tom. This is the reason why I kept her in the garage shop. I actually was optimistic that Tom would give me one of his old cars because it was not like it would be a problem for Tom; he already had a much better car. As soon as he told me he would send the car to me, I was thinking that Myrtle and I were going to leave no matter what and that this event might help me get a better job to support Myrtle.
