Dan　had　read　about　epiphanies　and　written　about　epiphanies；　but　he？d　never　actually　had　one。

He？d　gotten　into　nearly　every　college　he　applied　to。　He？d　had　a　poem　published　in　theNew

Yorker　。　And　what　was　he　going　to　do　next　year？work　at　a　bookstore　or　wait　tables　to　keep　busy

while　Vanessa　was　in　class？

？I　could　take　the　summer　to　work　things　out；？　he　allowed；　unwilling　to　let　his　father　think　he

could　be　that　easily　persuaded。　He　and　Vanessa　could　spend　the　summer　hanging　out　whenever

she　wasn？t　busy　working　on　that　movie　and　he　wasn？t　busy　driving　around　in　that　？　chick　magnet。

Who　knew？　Maybe　there？d　be　other　girls　to　love　besides　Vanessa？all　he　had　to　do　was　get　his

license　and　drive　out　west　to　find　out。

Rufus　reached　out　to　clap　him　on　the　back；　but　Dan　opened　up　his　arms　and　gave　his　dad　a

hug。　？This　party　was　kind　of　lame　anyway；？　he　confessed。

Rufus　grunted　and　led　him　over　to　the　car；　which　was　basking　in　its　own　coolness　under　a

streetlamp　near　the　curb。　？Then　how　？bout　I　give　you　your　first　driving　lesson？？

Aw。　Don？t　you　just　love　happy　endings？

Sex；　drugs；　and　rock？n？roll

Jenny　latched　the　door　to　the　handicapped　stall　in　the　men？s　room；　unsure　of　whether　to　take　off

her　clothes　or　fish　the　tab　of　E　out　of　her　purse。　There　was　an　impatient　flare　to　Nate？s　nostrils　but

she　wasn？t　sure　which　he　wanted　first；　sex　or　drugs。

She　unzipped　her　black　LeSportsac　with　the　white　Persian　cats　on　it　and　clicked　open　her

matching　change　purse。　？Here　it　is。？　She　removed　the　tiny　piece　of　Saran　Wrap　with　the　pill　inside

and　carefully　began　to　unfold　it。

Nate　peered　over　her　shoulder。　？Do　you　want　to　take　it　or　should　I？？

Jenny　didn？t　want　it；　and　he　obviously　did。　？You　take　it。？　She　held　out　her　palm　and　Nate

pinched　the　tab　between　his　thumb　and　forefinger。　He　opened　his　mouth；　closed　his　eyes；　and

stuck　out　his　tongue；　pressing　the　tab　onto　it　before　opening　his　eyes　and　closing　his　mouth　again。

Like　that；　he　didn？t　look　very　hot；　but　Jenny　was　still　intent　on　hooking　up　with　him。　This　was　her

swan　song；　her　last　chance　to　forge　her　own　memories　and　be　remembered。

Oh；　she？d　be　remembered　all　right。

？Does　it　taste　like　anything？？　she　asked；　genuinely　curious。

？Nope。？　Nate　smiled。　The　more　time　he　spent　alone　with　Jennifer；　the　more　he　felt　like　his　old

self　again。　All　she　wanted　was　a　little　no…obligation；　no…expectations　end…of…the…year　fun　before

she　took　off　for　boarding　school　or　wherever　the　hell　she　was　going　this　summer；　and　that　was　his

specialty。　He　bent　down　and　kissed　her　carefully　on　the　lips；　like　he　was　biting　into　something　that

was　still　too　hot　to　eat。　？But　you　do。？

Jenny　loved　the　idea　that　she　was　using
