Javier loved driving. Even the shock of the accident hadn’t worn that away. The first ten minutes, settling into the car and the drive had taken a lot more of his concentration than usual. But when Emily had slipped her fingers around the death grip he had on the gear stick he had allowed himself to relax into the winding curves that would take them out and away from Frigiliana towards their destination.

With the top down on the matte grey convertible, the morning sun streamed down on them. Emily lost the battle to tame the strands of her hair and sank into the passenger seat, unable to hide her excited smile.

Shifting gears up and down to navigate the twists and turns, there was a happy silence between them, neither choosing to shout above the roar of the wind and the engine. And he wondered how long it had been since he had simply let things go. Thoughts of work, the endless turnover of meetings and emails, managing his mother from as far away as possible. The thought turned in his mind. This was the longest time Renata had been quiet. Usually by now she would have been after him for money to help prop up the business she seemed determined to drive headlong into the ground.

He felt Emily’s fingers brush against his again, and forced himself to let go of the tension that had built shockingly fast. In the last few years his mother had been affecting him more and more. Whether it was because she was asking for more or whether over the years the weight of her had accumulated to become heavier and heavier, he didn’t know. He pasted a smile on his face as he turned to Emily, just as she saw the turnoff sign for their destination.

She leaned up in the seat and turned to stare at him. ‘Really?’ she asked and suddenly he felt awful. Awful that she was so pleased by such a small thing.

‘Really,’ he insisted, promising silently to never make her wait for anything she desired ever again.
