Nell is in a taxi in Kansas City, Missouri on her way to a conference. She's a professor of Gender and Women's Studies. The previous weekend, her ex, Henry, married the woman he had been having an affair with during their relationship. In the shuttle on the way to the hotel, the driver talks about his respect for Donald Trump and admits he would never vote for "Shrillary". He continues to make small talk. When they arrive at the hotel, Nell debates tipping him but ends up handing him a twenty. As he admires the bill, she tells him Donald Trump will never get the nomination. He writes his name, Luke, on the back of a card and tells her that if she needs anything, she should call. She unpacks at the hotel and finds her driver's license is missing. She calls Luke and asks him to check the van. She adds last minute that she'll pay him if he finds it. After the dinner, Nell goes to the hotel lobby and finds Luke waiting inside. He asks her to buy him a drink at the hotel bar. They drink together, and Luke tells her more about his life. He negotiates walking her to her room and then giving her the license, and she concedes. In the room they start to have sex. Nell tells him she'll give him a blowjob, but she wants her license first. Luke finally admits he doesn't have the license. Nell is enraged and kicks him out. The next day, hungover and upset, Nell finds the license in her jacket pocket. She considers apologizing to Luke but doesn't. She thinks of him often during the election cycle.
