I sat at the kitchen table until the sky began to lighten.

Mom looked disappointed.

“But we’re having dinner together tonight.”

    “I know. Sorry.”

Molly touched my arm.

“I’ll come with you.”

“No, stay. Enjoy the weekend.”

    “I’ll come with you.”

“Are you sure?”

    “Positive.”

Kai leaned back in his chair.

“Always leaving before the fun starts, Kevin.”

I picked up my keys.

“Enjoy your announcement.”

    “Always leaving before the fun starts, Kevin.”

His smile faltered briefly.

Then he shrugged.

I drove home without turning on the radio.
