Chapter 28

“Home?” Major asked as we both watched Abby drive off.

“Home.”

I pretended to be looking at my phone as we silently sat at the intersection, waiting for the light to turn green. I didn’t want to look at Major. I didn’t want to read in his eyes any thoughts similar to the ones Abby had so freely expressed.

“Still searching social media?”

“Umm-hmm.”

Truthfully, I was just reading the same weather forecast over and over. The thermometer was allegedly going to hit ninety by mid-week. Next thing I knew, I was fumbling to catch my new iPhone 6 when we made a rather abrupt U-turn.

“Where are we going?”

“Look.” Major pointed at the window. “Two cars ahead.”

It was the white truck with the rainbow sticker.

“I didn’t see who was driving, but…”

“But what? We’re going to follow him?”

“Why not?”

“Naw. If we catch up to him, you just come up with a way to introduce yourself.”
