Radical (2016)
“Best not to make her wait after how many days she made me wait to see her again and how strange she sounded on the phone.
“Hey,” she says through the already open window. Her hair is in a ponytail and she’s wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Not dressed for a date. She gives me a very quick, tight-lipped smile. But it’s barely a smile. I buckle up, trying to gauge her mood or figure out what’s going on with her.
She pulls out of the lot and heads east, but she doesn’t turn toward her grandparents’ h...ouse.
“Where are we going?”
She takes a deep breath, forces it out, slows the car, and says, “I don’t know.”

She drives another little bit and then pulls onto the shoulder and puts the car in park.
“What’s going on?”
