Rogan looked up at the knock on his door. “I realize this is something I should know, but do you have a driver’s license?” Eli stood expectantly, shuffling from foot to foot.

Rogan nodded. “My grandmother didn’t get around very well, and I got one when I lived with her last year so I could help her out.”

Eli smiled. “Alright then, college boy. Heads up.” Eli lobbed something in Rogan’s direction. Rogan plucked it from the air and realized immediately it was a set of keys.

His heart began pounding. “What is this?” he asked, more hopeful than he should have been.

“Sudden Falls is a small town. There’s no mass transit between here and the college, and I’m not mean enough to make you ride a bike the seven or so miles back and forth to school. Those are keys to your new car.”

His mouth went dry and speech escaped him for a long moment. “Really?”

“Well, not new-new. More like gently-used-new. Want to see?”

Rogan jumped to his feet, feeling like a little kid at Christmas. But no Christmas he’d ever actually had. He thundered down the stairs and landed in the driveway. Parked there was a late-model, four-door Subaru sedan with silver paint. Sure, it screamed “Safety-vehicle” but never in a million years would he have hoped for something so nice.

Speechless, he stepped to the car and peered in the window. It was every bit as nice inside.

“You’ve got the keys, kiddo. You don’t have to steam up the window. Want to go for a spin?”

Rogan nodded, knowing he was grinning like a fool. If he was dreaming, he hoped never to wake up. He unlocked the doors with a chirp of the keyless entry system and slid behind the wheel. It smelled like a new car.

Eli hopped into the passenger seat and began pointing out the features. “Blue-tooth Audio player, cruise control, air conditioning, power windows, power locks. It’s three years old, but it was a second car, so the mileage is pretty low.”

“Thanks,” Rogan said, barely able to get past the lump in his throat. No one had ever done anything this nice for him. “I’ll get a job so I can pay for gas and insurance and stuff.”

“I’ve got the insurance.”

Rogan started to argue and Eli put up a hand. “You’re going to be going to two different schools. You’ll be up to your eyeballs in homework soon. I can give you enough of an allowance to keep you in gas and junk food and maybe this summer I’ll find a job for you at the company? You could either sling burgers, or you can do some real-live computer work. I’ll warn you, it may be scut work, but it’s got to be better than fast food.”

Rogan decided that he must be living in some sort of alternate universe. One where everything seemed to be working out. Which meant, inevitably, Becca would be back for him momentarily. Probably before the end of the week.

“Let’s fire this baby up. We need to stop by the grocery if we want dinner tonight and I need to pick up some dry cleaning.
