My musical career at Grady’s Gas and Snack was giving me a bit of fame around campus. Almost every day somebody would walk up to me and ask, “Aren’t you the singing Grady girl?” Sometimes they’d high-five me, or say nice things about my voice or style. Once somebody asked for my autograph. Wanda said business had picked up because of me.

Mitch never told me I had a great voice. But he stopped by Grady’s sometimes. He taught me a few songs that came in handy for the late-night crowds, like “Eve of Destruction,” and “In the Midnight Hour.” Once he had his guitar with him, and we did “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” for a guy frantically buying up pink carnations for his wife because he’d forgotten their anniversary.

Mom still e-mailed and texted, or called, every day, but her new job kept her busy on the weekends. Her boss didn’t want her leaving town and missing a big real estate deal, and she didn’t have any vacation days saved up. So, of course, she quit.

“Isn’t that great news?” Mom said. “You and Amber won’t come home to visit, so now I can pay you guys a visit!”

Summer school was almost over, but I knew how much this visit meant to Mom. I’d missed her, too. And Adam. “You have to bring Adam!” I said, getting into the spirit of the thing. “And you can finally meet Mitch.”

“Exactly,” Mom said.

Then I got an idea. “Mom, if you can make it this weekend, you can see Mitch’s production!” Mitch’s film workshop had finished their big project, an actual film, and they were showing it on campus. “Saturday is opening night.”

“I’ll be there,” Mom promised.

“And don’t forget Adam. I want him to meet Eve.”
