My girl and I took our sweet time getting back to Hanover. There was quite a lot of countryside to see, and I knew of a beautiful, secluded pond where I could stop, and where she would be pleased to admire the view. I did stop at the pond, and she did admire the view, and she let me kiss her—quite a few times—until both of us realized we had better stop that business right away quick. So then we moseyed on, meandering through small towns, perhaps—I don’t remember—stopping for an ice cream cone.

Meanwhile, back home, the news of the terrible accident had broken over the radio. Jean, our next-door neighbor, rushed to our house. “Turn on the radio, quick!”

Aghast, Mom and Jean heard the news flash repeated. Another neighbor showed up at our door. “Didn’t Dikkon and his girlfriend just take that train?”

“Oh, my God,” moaned Mom. “Richie! Richie, come here!”

Dad held Mom. The neighbors stood around, supporting them. There was nothing to do—cell phones hadn’t been invented. Hours went by.

“Oh, I can’t stand it!” Mom cried.

And then, bold as brass, happy as clams, we drove up—and my life changed.

I wished that knife in my gut had actually bled my heart out.
