I did what he wanted
I paid all my debts and with the money I had left over, I bought me a car
I spent that twenty
I bought a ring with it with his initials
The silver is always cold but I like it
I drove out the city and saw the trees and grass and bright blue sky again
I didn't stop there though
I kept driving and driving and driving, and didn't stop until I ran out of gas, and was stranded at the side of the road
A woman picked me up after that, and I never left her side
I wear two rings now
I also have a little boy
I named him Steven
I named him after Calvin's middle name
On my son's twelfth birthday, I gave him a twenty and said "Take it but spend it on something that will be with you forever"
He still has that twenty
