Tayo continues bothering me long after we'd left the park, eaten at Pop Pop's diner and now in my driveway. He pokes, tugs my hands, and pulls me close. Anything to get his hands on me and the words blown into my ears.

''Quit it! You'll know when it's time.''

He removes his hands, holding them over his head and leaning away.

''Feisty! Anyway, if the plan is to do something illegal, I am not helping you. I've got to go, today was nice. Let's do this again. Later princess.''

''Don't call me princess!'' I shout at his retreating back but he says nothing, waving his hands and getting into the car.

He eases out of the driveway, giving me two honks before driving off. I should walk in, go to my room and change the gauze. Instead I stay here, rubbing the cold away and watching his car even after it disappears.
