Saturday came quickly. It was a little too quickly for my liking, but as the saying went, time stopped for no man. I found myself in the living room with Mom and Dad, tensely waiting for Kurt. Pacing back and forth, I was beginning to wear a track.

“For goodness sake, sit down and relax, son! Anyone would think you were going to jail. You’re going out to enjoy yourself.”

“I know, Dad. I guess I’m just used to being at home at night. I still don’t think I can face the media.”

“Don’t worry about it. Just keep your chin up and say nothing.”

Minutes later there was a knock at the door. I hurried over to answer it, anxious to get the evening underway so I could return to my apartment. Telling my folks that I was moving out was met with a positive reaction. They were both overjoyed that I wanted to return to my life and start living again. I wasn’t sure about living, but I would be existing.

“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford!” said Kurt, who was dressed up like he was going to his wedding. Polished black shoes, long ‘pressed with crease’ pants, white shirt, and black jacket and tie. Suddenly I felt a little underdressed in my casual shirt and pants. I hoped none of the others had dressed up in full suits.

“Hello, Kurt. How are you tonight?” asked Mom, as she perched on the sofa doing a tapestry. “How is your mother?”

“I’m fine, thanks, and Mom’s great. She said to say hello to everyone. She’ll no doubt catch up with you at the store. You both seem to do your shopping at the same time every week. I reckon you have it planned that way so that you can have a good gossip.”

“Sure we do. When there are no men around, we can have a good chat.”

Dad gave her a playful jeer as she elbowed him in the ribs. I rolled my eyes at my parents’ teenage behavior, suddenly needing to leave.

“I guess we’d better be going then, Kurt,” I offered, moving my friend towards the door.

“Have a good night, both of you. We’ll see you in the morning, Kyle, when you come to pick up the rest of your things,” sang Mom.

“Okay. Night. Don’t have too much fun while I’m not here.”

I didn’t miss Dad wiggling his eyebrows at my mom right before I shut the door on them and climbed into Kurt’s car.

“We’re gonna have a good time tonight, buddy,” chanted Kurt as we drove off in his 1969 Mustang. Mr. Holloway had bought him the car for his twenty-first birthday right about the time he had started working for the family publishing company. Kurt’s father was very big on material possessions and always liked to show off the things his children had to his executive friends. I liked Mr. Holloway but didn’t necessarily approve of his values.

As we flew down the highway, Kurt pulled a packet of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket. At least I thought they were cigarettes.
