Chapter 15 – Noa

LIKE SERIOUSLY, THIS man is...too much! When we get back to our brother and sister vibe, he goes and pulls a romantic cab picnic scene out of the clear blue on me. I mean, I know it was my suggestion, but I meant it as the most platonic, simple, country snacking feast as possible. Not this. I feel like there should be sconces lit from the side windows or something completely ridiculous like that.

I can’t even look over at him. I keep watching the sun dip lower across the other side of the hill. The once light pink clouds have turned the color of cantaloupe as the sun blazes out its final rays before extinguishing its light for the night.

My legs are stretched out and crossed with my heels resting on the window ledge of the backseat. There’s a slight breeze blowing in from the west, and I can smell fresh, cut grass from the lawnmower buzzing in the distance. I reach for the pretzels on my plate without looking only to come up empty-handed. I ate them all and didn’t even realize it.

I swallow the lump in my throat, thinking that the silence between us might be getting awkward. I open my mouth to speak but think better of it before I utter a syllable. Here we are in a very comfortable silence, so why do I feel the need to talk? I don’t have anything special to say, and he seems to be content to sit here with me.

My phone buzzes from the cup holder it’s sitting in, and I look over to see my dad’s face on my Skype app.

“Hey, Daddy!”

“There’s my girl. God, I’ve missed your smile, and your face, and voice and all the great things that make you my girl.”

“So you don’t miss the bad things?”

“What bad things? What are these lies people have been feeding you? You are the purest ray of sunshine that ever dawned on this Earth, and don’t you forget it.”

“Thanks, Daddy. How’ve you been?”

“I’ve been outnumbered without you here, so I thought I’d check out of Hollywood for a few moments and see what’s been going on in your new world. Lay it on. What have you been up to?”

“Well...” I hold the phone out the window and show him what I’m looking at, turning and tilting it for him to get the full panoramic view. “I’m watching the sun set over the horizon somewhere in Minnesota.”

“And it looks like you are enjoying every moment of it. You’ve never looked better.”

“Aww, Dad. Thank you. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you are buttering me up for some disturbing news from home.”

“No. Absolutely not. You know that’s not my style. Besides, I never know what’s going on in this family. I leave that up to your sister and mother.”

“How’s the roadie life treating you? Do you have everything you need? I can send you anything you are lacking; you know that, but I’m sure you’d get it yourself if you needed it.
