When Hannah arrived back home her dad was waiting and he didn’t look happy.

“Were you driving a Range Rover when you left?”

“Yes. It’s Cody’s.”

“I don’t want you driving someone else’s vehicle, Hannah.”

“He doesn’t have a license, Dad.”

Hannah’s father looked perplexed. “Do I even want to know?”

She hated lying to her father. It was their one rule. He was analytical and never really overreacted or got upset about things. He just wanted to be accurately informed.

“Dad, do you remember hearing about Cody Matthews in the news?”

He shook his head.

“He got in that car accident . . . and his girlfriend died.”

Her father’s eyes grew with recognition. “They were students at your school.”

“Yes. Cody still is.”

“Hannah, I don’t like this.”

“Dad, it’s not a big deal. We’re working on a project together for school and I’ve offered to give him rides since he can’t drive. We took his car today, but I won’t do it again if you don’t want me to.”

Her father cut his eyes suspiciously at her. “And what about, H?” he asked. “Is he part of this school project?”

“H?”

Her father picked up a white box that Hannah missed amongst the daily clutter of items waiting to be carried up the stairs. It was a Macbook Air, with red handwriting scrawled across the top of the box. Problem solved. Call me if you need anything else – H. A phone number was scribbled beneath the note along with a tiny heart.

Hannah looked at her father’s suspicious glare and groaned. This was precisely why she’d asked Harrison NOT to send her a laptop.

“Dad, I told him I didn’t need it.”

“Who’s it from?”

“Harrison Cohl.”

That was a name he did know. Hannah’s father provided the Cohl’s security software for their computer. Well at least he used to, before they’d been elected to government positions. Losing their account had been a big hit to his business.

“Is he mocking your computer?” he asked in astonishment. “Because I can tell you right now, it’s far superior to this toy!” he muttered waving the Macbook around.

“No! Dad. I bumped into Harrison in the parking lot today and dropped my laptop. The screen smashed and he feels like it was his fault so he offered to get me a new one. I told him it wasn’t necessary,” Hannah replied trying to soothe her father’s uncharacteristic hostility. “He’s just trying to be nice.”

“We don’t need his charity.”

“I know, Dad. I’m going to call him and return it, okay?”

Her father nodded and handed Hannah the slim white box. “Please do.”

Hannah sighed as she watched her father disappear back into his study. Today was not her day. She trudged up the stairs with the Macbook, already typing Harrison’s number into her phone and shooting him a text.
