I
sympathized
with
him
.
It
must
be
a
hard
thing
,
to
be
a
father
;
living
in
fear
that
your
daughter
would
meet
a
boy
she
liked
,
but
also
having
to
worry
if
she
didn
’
t
.
How
ghastly
it
would
be
,
I
thought
,
shuddering
,
if
Charlie
had
even
the
slightest
inkling
of
exactly
what
I
did
like
.
Charlie
left
then
,
with
a
goodbye
wave
,
and
I
went
upstairs
to
brush
my
teeth
and
gather
my
books
.
When
I
heard
the
cruiser
pull
away
,
I
could
only
wait
a
few
seconds
before
I
had
to
peek
out
of
my
window
.
The
silver
car
was
already
there
,
waiting
in
Charlie
’
s
spot
on
the
driveway
.
I
bounded
down
the
stairs
and
out
the
front
door
,
wondering
how
long
this
bizarre
routine
would
continue
.
I
never
wanted
it
to
end
.

He
waited
in
the
car
,
not
appearing
to
watch
as
I
shut
the
door
behind
me
without
bothering
to
lock
the
dead
-
bolt
.
I
walked
to
the
car
,
pausing
shyly
before
opening
the
door
and
stepping
in
.
He
was
smiling
,
relaxed
-
and
,
as
usual
,
perfect
and
beautiful
to
an
excruciating
degree
.
"
Good
morning
.
"
His
voice
was
silky
.
"
How
are
you
today
?
"
His
eyes
roamed
over
my
face
,
as
if
his
question
was
something
more
than
simple
courtesy
.
"
Good
,
thank
you
.
"
I
was
always
good
-
much
more
than
good
-
when
I
was
near
him
.
His
gaze
lingered
on
the
circles
under
my
eyes
.
"
You
look
tired
.

"
I
couldn
’
t
sleep
,
"
I
confessed
,
automatically
swinging
my
hair
around
my
shoulder
to
provide
some
measure
of
cover
.
"
Neither
could
I
,
"
he
teased
as
he
started
the
engine
.
I
was
becoming
used
to
the
quiet
purr
.
I
was
sure
the
roar
of
my
truck
would
scare
me
,
whenever
I
got
to
drive
it
again
.
I
laughed
.
"
I
guess
that
’
s
right
.
I
suppose
I
slept
just
a
little
bit
more
than
you
did
.
