The rest of the car ride is pretty much silent,except for a few times when Phil gives me directions to his house. When we arrive it's dark and there is one light on in his house,i'm guessing a little brother's or something who is staying up late,Phil looks at me.

"You're not going to bail on me..right,you really want to do this?" I heard a tone in his voice,a kind of tone,of hope for a certain answer.

"I'm not going to bail,I promise." He smiles,something in my stomach flutters but i'm pretty sure it's just the darkness asking for something else to ruin. 

"Come pick me up tomorrow? Around..5:30?" He asks.

"Yeah." Good thing I get off of work at 5.

"Okay,see you tomorrow Dan." He flashes a small smile then gets out of the car. 

I sit there for a brief moment. Then drive away.
