The conversation on the twenty-minute ride had been short and awkward. What was she supposed to talk to him about? What did they have in common? They had always been from two different worlds, and it seemed they still were. His car still carried that new car smell. The interior black leather is spotless. The dashboard lit up with blue lighting around the top-of-the-line gadgets. The radio played a soft hum of eighties music to make her feel more comfortable. One of his hands rested on the wheel while the other was over his gear shifter. Rose caught herself glancing over him a few times before she forced her gaze out to the passing landscape. Regardless of how much she wanted to tell him off, the fact she was in Martin Brock’s car was something she had never dreamed of.

“We’re here.” His voice was soft; Rose glanced at him before turning to the structure. The Planetarium? Wait? She hadn’t been there since their Junior Field trip, another place she had loved as a child ruined by the taunts of him and his friends. This was a trick; she knew it. A knot formed in her stomach as they pulled up to the front of the building.

“We should leave,” she demanded, her once-strong voice shaky.

“Leave? Why?” he asked, confusion evident in his tone.

Rose didn’t want to tell him the truth, not at that moment. How could she say the idea of walking through those doors with him, reliving the horror she had endured, caused her panic? Her chest tightened as she spit out the only thing she could think of. “They are closed.”

Martin grinned. “I’ve taken care of that.” He quickly climbed out of the car and moved around to her side. Rose wanted to hold the door shut, hide in the car, call an uber, anything but what he asked. She remained in the seat as he opened the door, his hand held out for her to take. “I got you, don’t worry.” There was something in the way he said those words. The way he looked and waited for her put her at ease.

She slid her hand into his, and for the first time, she felt something with his touch. A shock, a jolt, call it whatever you wanted. Rose stood before him, lightheaded, as they stared into one another's eyes. This couldn’t be happening, she told herself. He backed up and moved beside her as he closed the door and helped her onto the sidewalk. He never let go of her hand, his fingers wrapped around the side in a secure hold. She glanced down at their hands, and for a split second, she felt happiness move over her.

“About time.” The voice caused Rose to look up, and instantly, her stride came to a stop. She knew the man who stood in the opened entrance, and her stomach twisted in knots. One of his high school friends, a football buddy, was one of her tormentors. Had she been right all along? She looked at Martin, who gripped her hand tighter to tell her she was okay.
