I waited exactly five minutes with my head on the steering wheel. When I heard the passenger door close, I put the ignition in drive and pulled out of my drive way.
I looked over at Em. "Baby, I'm not mad at you."
She didn't look at me. "I'm just concerned."
"Don't be."
I reached across the dash board, and grabbed her hand. I rubbed small circles on her knuckles.
I brought her hand up to mine and I kissed them.
"Don't leave my sight tonight. Okay? These parties get crazy. I didn't really want you to..."
She cut me off and said, "I can take care of myself. I've been to a party before."
"Not like this sweetheart." I mumbled.
She sighed and continued looking out the window.
