Chapter 5

“He’s here,” Sandy says, turning the truck’s engine off.

“What? Who?” Jonah shakes his head, pulling out of his Hummer daydream.

“Ricky. He’s home for the holidays. You told me he has a Hummer. I see it in his parent’s driveway.” Sandy points down Ross, over the steering wheel. “Isn’t that his parent’s place, Dale and Dalia’s?”

Jonah twists his stare in Sandy’s direction, surprised. “You remember his parent’s names?”

“Come on. It’s easy to remember their names. Don’t you think that people would remember us if we were named Sandy and Sanford? Or, Jonah and John? I think they would.”

“Point made,” Jonah answers.

“Don’t forget, I’m not just a handsome face,” Sandy teases, climbs out of the truck, obviously ready for this visit…something.
