Okay, okay. He wasn’t that dumb. He wasn’t dumb at all. He would know Hawaii was in America. And he didn’t say ‘like’ and ‘totally’. I hooded my eyes, sighing. And he could be kind. And sweet. I hesitated a moment, watching the rain really come down now before I slowed on the empty highway and pulled another U-turn, heading back to him. He was persistent to the point of exhaustion, but…I couldn’t let him walk home in this. I couldn’t do that to him.
