“She posted a picture of you guys after, at some pond. Had a nasty shiner. Girl got you good.” Cole laughs. I think back. I remember that day. We went to a summer party together. That black eye wasn’t from the fight, though. I shake my head. “Nah, that girl couldn’t land a punch even if she tried.” The car gets silent. “She didn’t give that to you?” I laugh. “No, that was my dad.” Heavy silence. Immediately, I freeze. The energy in the car shifts. Oh shit, I shouldn’t have said that.
