Theo refused to get into the car. Sticking out his lip, he said, "I'm not having my picture taken with him."

He meant me, of course.

Mama took one look at my face and grabbed Theo's ear. Giving it a little twist, she propelled him into the backseat. "I've had enough for one day," she said. "Perhaps you'd like Papa to tan your hide when he comes home tonight."

Theo mumbled another apology, and Mama slid into the car beside him. Keeping herself in the middle, she made room for me.

John posed us, told us to smile, warned us to sit still, and carefully pressed the shutter of a bulky box camera. Not satisfied, he rearranged us and took several more photographs, including one of Hannah behind the steering wheel.

"The very idea—a woman driving." Mama shook her head. "Hannah has entirely too many unladylike notions already. Voting, for instance. She wants me to join those suffragettes, but if you ask me, some things are better done by men."

While Hannah defended her right to vote and drive and spit on the sidewalk if she pleased, John started the car. In a cloud of dust and noise, we left Riverview and headed for home.

As the Model T bumped over the ruts in the dirt road, I gazed silently at the fields of corn stretching away toward the blue sky. Instead of laughing and singing with the others, I was thinking about the pictures in the attic. I couldn't remember seeing a single photograph of the Tylers in a car.

Did that mean this day wasn't supposed to happen? A little chill ran up and down my spine. Suppose what Andrew and I were doing was dangerous? Not just to him and me, but to history itself?
