Harper had given her mother the sweatshirt the next morning before she left. She thought it would reassure her that she was over it. Over it, by The Brody Hines Band, Harper smiled and pulled the shirt from the hanger and smelled it. It didn’t smell like him-- that was a very good sign.

Harper bounced down the stairs feeling refreshed from her shower. Tessa stood at the door.

“Dad sent left you a gift,” Tessa smiled.

“Great!”

“Grab your bag and whatever else you need and let's cruise to the Cape. If we get tired we can stop and sleep at a swanky hotel,” Tessa smiled.

“No way,” Harper gasped and then laughed out loud, “This is absolutely perfect.”

“We thought it was time,” Tessa threw her the keys

“I love it, “Harper danced around and laughed.

“I had one just like it when I was your age, except it was blue, standard shift, and…”

“I think the word you are looking for is vintage,” Harper laughed from her belly.

Tessa smiled and laughed too. Her eyes filled with tears, and she hugged Harper. “I have not heard you laugh like that in two years.”

“I’ve been busy Mom,” Harper smiled sweetly.

“I know. Okay, lets go before Tomas catches us with the top down and calls your father,” Tessa hoped in the passenger side.

“Why is he my father now? And when you are not annoyed by something he obviously…”

“Good God Harper let’s go!” Tessa reached her foot across the Jeep and punched the gas.

Harper and Tessa both laughed and waved to Tomas who was still looking for the keys as he stomped around.

They pulled over to grab dinner about an hour from the Cape. Tessa had ignored Collin’s calls and simply texted him back that they were busy and safe and having fun.

Harper’s phone rang when they sat in the booth at a little diner on the side of the road.

“Hello Daddy, thank you for the Jeep…No, she can't talk right now. We have the top off and she is standing up flashing everyone who drives by,” Harper laughed and then gasped, “Mom, Dad wants to talk to you.”

“Hello hot stuff…you said WHAT!...Collin that was more than twenty years ago get over it!...Fine!...Of course I didn’t but I may do it now!...Fine…what?...oh I see…alright then.”

Tessa hung up the phone and took a drink.

“What’s wrong?” Harper asked eating a greasy fry.

“Well nothing, I just,” Tessa looked at Harper.

“Out with it, then I want to hear what you did twenty years ago that still has Daddy all hot and bothered,” Harper ate another fry.

“Well Emma, London, Lexington, and Brody are in town. They will be coming over to stay with us for a couple days,” Tessa smiled.

“Cool. I feel awful that I haven’t spent any time with London in the past couple years. And Lexington won't even remember me,” Harper nibbled on a fry.

“Harper, Maddox has an interview on the Today show in the morning. He kicks of his US tour in Madison Square Garden in four days.”

“Very cool,” Harper took a drink and sat back.
