Snow Angels (1994)
“It’s cheap, none of her friends work there, and it saves her the trip into town. When she calls—from her mother’s, since this is for her benefit—Glenn offers to drive them. He can get his father’s car if she doesn’t like the truck.
Why don’t they meet there, she says, it’ll be easier. She doesn’t expect any trouble, but if something goes wrong she wants to be able to leave.
“Is that what you’re wearing?” her mother asks, meaning her jeans, her black leather jacket hanging in the hall.
“It’s the... Burger Hut, Ma.”
“I’m sure Glenn will have on something nice.”
“It’s not a date,” Annie says. “It’s just lunch.”
“He’s trying. Doesn’t that mean anything to you? I’d think you’d be happy for him.”
“So he has a job. I have a job and I take care of Tara.”
“I’ve heard all of this before,” her mother says. She takes a loaf of white from the tin on the counter and starts making a salami sandwich for Tara.
