The reflection of the school bus shimmers across the windshield of Allison's car while she tries to keep a stealthy distance behind it "You think I'm getting too close? I'm getting too close, aren't I?"

I turn to her "It depends. Are you just following the bus? Or are you planning to mount it at some point?"

"So I should back off?"

"That also depends. Do you mean the bus? Or the ex-boyfriend you're currently stalking?"

"After what happened, I'm not letting him out of my sight. And by the way, this started when he came knocking on my door"

"For what?" Lowering a book titled Thermodynamic Asymmetry in Time, I glance at the dashboard "So was the not let them out of your sight thing literal? Or more like a general rule?"

"Literal. Why?" she said

"You're under a quarter of a tank"

Allison looks at the gas gauge needle "Oh, come on"

"I'm also pretty sure that bus holds a lot more gas than this Toyota" 

"What if we stop?" 

"With the bus going at a steady sixty-five including time to pump gas? It would probably take about half an hour to catch up going at least a hundred and ten" Allison's eyes flit from road to gas needle and back "Is it that big a deal? So we lose them for a little while. We know where they're headed"

"You didn't see what happened" 

"I know who started it"

"Is that what Aiden told you?"

"Aiden? Hold on a second. Is that why you wanted me on this little road trip? Are you keeping an eye on them and me?"

"So nothing's being going on between you two?"

"I'm appalled by that insinuation"

"Nothing?"

"Nothing"
