The meeting with the title agent is short and sweet. She makes copies of my driver’s license, and I fill out a few documents to verify who I am, what I do, and what I’m worth. She tells me she’ll give me a final number to make the check out for in a day or two, and Chase and I are on our way back home.

The same quiet exists around us, and I hate it. I’m angry, even though there isn’t really a reason for it. When we near Rider Springs, though, Chase must sense it, because he stabs the emotional wounds in one breath.

“I’m sorry I abandoned you.”

My brow draws in.

“Did you?” I ask out loud because even though that’s how I felt, I’m not sure he really did. I sort of abandoned him, too.

“I did. I picked the cool crowd and I quit asking you to do things in favor of doing dumb shit with people I thought would get me somewhere. Where that is, I have no fucking clue.”

He laughs then shakes his head.

“I never asked you to do anything either, Chase. And that’s on me.”

The car idles at a stoplight and Chase twists to look me in the eyes.

“My friends weren’t very nice to you.”

I mentally rifle through the dozens of cruel names and nod with a raised brow.

“You’re right on that one,” I say. “Your friends were dicks.”

A burst of sound escapes his chest as he laughs at my response.

“What’s funny?” I ask as he starts to pull through the green light.

“You…and the word dicks. I just never thought of you as the kind of girl who said curse words.”

“Dick is not a curse word,” I say, prompting more laughter from him. I start to enjoy making him laugh. “Fuck…now fuck is a curse word. And shit-fuck…that’s a compound curse word.”

His head turns to the side and he leans into the steering wheel with hard laughter, and it takes him almost a full minute to compose himself. I smile and rest in my seat while he calms down, and I start to feel drowsy. I almost nod off before the car shakes from the gravel of the road to my house, and when I sit up straight, my head throbs hard.

Chase stops in front of my house, and I get out with my bag in my hands, anxious to swallow my pills and fall into my pillow.

“I’m really sorry about your mom and dad.” I’m surprised by his words behind me, and I jump a little.

“Sorry, I wanted to say that the entire drive and I just now felt strong enough.” He licks his bottom lip and shuffles his feet from side-to-side, his hands deep in his pockets and his chest tight. He’s holding his breath; I’ve seen Chase act this way before—nervous.

“You don’t have to be sorry, Chase. It was a long time ago. Right after graduation. Your parents had moved by then, and I was getting ready for college. The saddest part is how little my life changed.
