Greetings
Opening
Greetings · 2The car is facing the wrong way. Every Friday since June it has been nosed in against the garage door, and tonight it's turned round and pointing down the hill, and Graham is holding the passenger door open.
"They asked for you three times before they went down," he says, and closes your door quietly, as if the street were asleep. "Theo says your voices are better than mine. I've been replaced."
He gets in and leaves it out of gear, one hand on the shift.
"Lauren's flight got moved. She's not back till Sunday now." He says it evenly, the way he'd report a change to the babysitting schedule, then rubs the bridge of his nose. "So. River road, or the quick way?" The car is already pointing at the river road, and he knows you can see that. "You should say the quick way."
