?I?ll call you every day;? he said; his voice trembling。 ?I promise。? ?Me too。? She sniffled。
Jenny slammed the trunk of the robin?s…egg…blue car shut。 ?Let?s get this boat on the road!? ?It?s
not aboat ;? Dan snorted; letting go of Vanessa。 ?It?s a 1977 Buick Skylark convertible; and it
deserves somerespect 。? ?Okay; Mr。 Only Got His License like;Yesterday 。? Jenny gave him a
sweaty hug。 ?I was only kidding。? She buried her head against his chest; her curls bobbing up and
down。 ?I?m going to miss you so much;? she said quietly as the tears rolled down her round
cheeks。
Dan closed his eyes; squeezing his little sister tight。 ?You too;? he muttered; trying not to cry any
harder。
?But I know you guys probably have some stuff to um 。 。 。 do。? Jenny looked up at Vanessa
meaningfully and then shuffled away; fanning her face with one hand as she joined Rufus and
Jeanette on the curb。
Vanessa grabbed Dan?s hand forcefully; pulling him behind the car so that they could have some
privacy。 She kissed him hard?a little reminder of their long night last night?and then pulled back;
grinning。 She was sad to see Dan go; but they were together again?and she had some ideas for
how to stay in touch。
?Not only will I call you every day;? she said; swooping in for another kiss; then lowering her
voice to a throaty whisper; ?but I?ll be sending you somemovies; too。? She winked; her face
wicked。
Dan blushed bright red。 ?Rated R; I hope;? he whispered in her ear。
Finally she pried herself out of his arms; and he got behind the wheel of his huge automobile。 He
slammed the door and Vanessa backed slowly away; joining his family on the curb。 There they
were: his crazily dressed father; his long…absent mother; his sweet little sister; and Vanessa; the
bald; beautiful; love of his life。 He jammed the key into the ignition; fighting tears。
The car coughed once; twice; and then 。 。 。 died abruptly。 Dan closed his eyes。 He couldn?t face
another round of goodbyes。 He turned the key once more。 This time; the engine caught; coughing
and sputtering; before ing to life with a giant roar。
He jerked the car forward; trying to remember everything his dad had told him about defensive
driving; and watched his family get smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror; all four of them
waving wildly and wiping their eyes as he sped up West End Avenue。 His blood felt electric; and
he could hardly wait to get out on the open road; to feel the sun on his face as it streamed through
the windshield。 Hopefully; by the time he found an Internet caf?; he?d already have a Vanessa
Abrams original in his inbox。 One meant for his eyes only。
And sure to make its way into the public realm?nudge; nudge。
