“Hey, have you seen Casey?” Dale half whispered to Rusty. “I went by her house and she was already gone.”

Rusty could feel his palms clamming up. “She didn’t call?”

“I dropped my phone in the sink again this morning. That thing is like, the least water-resistant technology I have ever encountered. I’ve had better experience with motherboards. A couple drops and it goes on the fritz. Once I answered it with a wet head from the shower—”

“Dale—”

“Anyway, no, she didn’t call. No one’s called me. Or I assume not.”

“Dale.” But he couldn’t bring himself to say the words. This was Casey’s responsibility, not his.

“Should I mention that? Cell phones and water? It is electrical engineering. It’s a major issue. I’ve ruined three phones, two in the kitchen and one because my mom has this mystical ability to know when I’m just getting in or out of the shower. That seems like a good senior project—the water-resistant phone. The dean’s here. I could propose it. You know, bounce it off him while he’s relaxed, see how it goes. The senior project is a big deal and I’m a sophomore already. Or I could talk to the assistant dean. She seems nice. A little pale.”

“Mercury poisoning. Dale—”

“Was I supposed to buy a corsage? You told me I wasn’t supposed to. How am I supposed to impress Casey if I don’t have the right things? I already don’t have the right moves. Unless it’s square dancing. Does your sister square-dance?”

“Dale, Casey is…over there.” To his own shock, he saw his sister emerge from the hedges, dressed up for a formal but very present at this particular event. Upon spotting them, she came rushing up.

“Hi, Dale,” she said. “Rus. Sorry I’m late. Sorority things.”

While Dale stammered to greet his date, Rusty cut in, “Dale’s phone broke this morning. So if you happened to send any messages, he didn’t get them.”

Casey got the message. “Oh, okay. Dale, sorry about your phone.”

“I didn’t break it. I dropped it and water destroyed it,” Dale said, smiling nervously. “Hi, Casey. Thanks for coming.”

She smiled back warmly. “I’m glad to be here.”
