\u201cWell that\u2019s interestingly precise!\u201d Reaching behind herself, Summer extracted her keys from the strap of her purse, and beckoned. \u201cLet\u2019s go. You set the gps while I get us out into traffic.\u201d She let him to a little targa-topped burgundy car, popping both doors. \u201cAnd on the way, you can tell me a little more about yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAlright, Miss Summer,\u201d he nodded, climbing into the passenger seat only after Summer had already slid in. \u201cI can\u2019t thank you enough for this, really. You didn\u2019t have to. I mean it was very- Is this a touch screen, or no?\u201d he inquired, suddenly sidetracked by the GPS he was unable to work. \u201cI\u2019m lousy with these things. I don\u2019t even keep a cell phone\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cTap with your fingernail,\u201d she instructed. \u201cHow in the world do you manage without a cell phone? I don\u2019t even keep a landline anymore!\u201d She paused a moment after starting the car to wind her hair up in a fist-sized bun and stick a couple clips in it. \u201cTime for aggressive driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI-er-\u201d he mumbled distractedly, navigating his way through the screens to the input. His tongue stuck slightly out of the corner of his mouth as he focused on working the device. \u201cI don\u2019t get along well with tech. Raised without it. And I\u2019ve got no one to call, anyhow. Ah!\u201d he exclaimed, pointing to the screen, pleased. \u201cI\u2019ve got it in! Thank you again, so much. I feel rather stupid, now. It says here it\u2019s only five minutes away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer glanced at the gps to get the next turn, then stepped on it. Expertly snaking through a gap, she asked, “What’s this all about? Odd time for an appointment, really. School thing?”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
