Though I’m not convinced those times were a mistake as much as Mom attempting to teach me another lesson of how unsafe I am in the world.įootsteps against the rocks and Chevy eases beside me. This isn’t the first time Dad’s car has broken down, and unfortunately, it won’t be the last.
I step out onto the road, and using the flashlight cell, wave to signal Mom. This has been an awful day, and I’m ready to pull the covers over my head and stay in bed for days, maybe weeks.

I hold his gaze for as long as he can handle. It’s the same unguarded look as when we whispered our most intimate thoughts into each other’s ears. “Your car’s broke.” Chevy glances in my direction again, and there’s a softness in his eyes that I hate and love.
