There was a new cafe in another town far far away. If this other cafe had an online presence then
Imogen Howe
might've learned about it from all the time she was now spending online. However this other cafe didn't post on social media. They weren't on

private key
as reply to Waiting
"Is there a way to get the money from Jesse's account?"
"Only if we find her private key ."
"Any chance she hid it someplace obvious. Maybe just in her room? You can get Mrs. Sanders to let us in there? We can make up an excuse."
"We can try."
"You don't sound that...

"Hello?"
"Will?"
"Oh hi mom."
"Why do you sound so--" she stopped. "-- are you coming home?"
"Yeah--"
"I mean you don't need to of course. You're an adult. But we were wondering. We'll keep the lights on if you are planning to."
"I'll be home soon."
Will shut the phone off and stared at it. Waiting...

too late
as reply to The Hill
Then it suddenly hit him. The thought. Why were the tires still pumped? He hadn't been back in over a year. No way his old man was riding this. And his mom? Forget it. So who? Or how?
He thought of this as theΒ wind ruffled his hair. The sun looked...

In a jar he kept the hair. It belonged to Jesse. When they lived together they did this thing. Where they would grow aΒ

baby together. When they were younger they were less wise and let hair clog up the shower drain. But they've been using a drain guard...

man-thing
as reply to The Carter
"Good to be back here."
"Is it?"
"Not really. Kind of uncomfortable actually."
"What about it?"
"Nothing about it. Just the fact that it's now. Time passes so fast. Well I should go. Thanks for showing me the old place again."
"Yes. You should come over sometime. If you're in town that is."
Will told her...

There was something about the rumble of a traditionalΒ

engine
. All the fluids inside that required changing. All the moving parts, any one of them apt for going haywire at any moment and put you on the curb. The complexity and precariousness of it all made the car...

gas guzzler
Will wasn't like everyone he knew back out West. For example he didn't want an electric car. He didn't know anybody out West who didn't find electric vehicles superior. In fact nobody out West even considered the possibility that anyone would prefer a

The Carter House was the

small talk can only get you so far
as reply to Thats how it always is
What the hell are you apologizing for?
Will took a breath then told the gas station clerk, you're right. I didn't do anything wrong.
Exactly! The world is always trying to put all the blame on the little guys. Like I can guarantee you that my boss and his boss is going...

catch up?
After the service Will runs into Allison leaning against the brick right outside the

doors. The way she's standing makes it feel like she was waiting there for him all along. But that can't be. He must be imagining. For they have't spoken in over five years. Will has...
