Chapter 21

He reaches for my right hand, which I take off the steering wheel and slip it inside his. He asks, “Do you need to pull over. Because if you do, I can drive. I’m quite capable.”

I shake my head. “I’m all all right…All right.”

“I should have told you sooner. It’s just been bothering me. Or should I say eating away at me. I don’t think I want to be with anyone else these days. Just you. Us together. I was looking forward to going to New York City. But honestly, I’m just glad to be with you on this trip.”

“Yes. You should have told me sooner. But better now than never. And…and…You owe me a copy of Tell Me Who You Are. Even if you love me or not. Even if I love you with all my heart.”

He laughs. “You’re crying, Tim. Are you sure you’re all right?”

“Just happy,” I tell him, barely capable of keeping the Pathfinder on the road, slowing down again, and failing as a driver.
