Chapter 12

"You've only been here two days, how'd you get this?" I asked when I walked outside a couple of hours later and saw Evan's new truck. It wasn't new at all, actually. It was quite old. I wasn't a huge car person, but I knew a few things from listening to my dad and the guys at the restaurant, and I knew this was nice.

"I've wanted this car since I was in high school. It belonged to my parents' neighbor. I called him the second I decided to move back into town."

"And he just sold it to you after he'd been having it that long?" I asked.

"I'm pretty persistent," he said. He was standing beside me, and I glanced at him to find that he was smiling. The shape of his mouth when he smiled was exactly what a smile should look like. He'd been out in the sun, which made his teeth look exceptionally white. My eyes fell onto the sharp points of his eyeteeth, and that jittery feeling washed over me again. I instantly glanced back at the truck.

"Is it a Bronco?" I asked, pointing at the letters F-o-r-d, which were in the middle of the grill.

"It's awesome that you know that," he said.

"I figured it was a Bronco, but I don't know what year or anything."

"It's a seventy-two," he said. "I've wanted this car since I was sixteen."

"Why didn't you just get one in California?" I asked. "I thought stuff like this was all anyone drove over there."

"Because I wanted this very one," he said. "It's pretty much my dream car. Don't worry about it."

It was one of the most beautiful restoration jobs I had ever seen. It was navy with off-white accents, big tires, and lots of chrome. It had a hard top over the front seats, but the back was open. I walked up to it thinking that it was perhaps the coolest vehicle he could have possibly shown up with.

"Is there a seat in the back?" I asked, walking up to it.

"Why? You worried about Cupcake having a place to ride?"

I opened the passenger's door before I turned to smile at him. "She's gonna be happy you thought about her," I said. I glanced in to find that the inside was just as immaculate as the outside. Brown interior—bucket seats in the front, and a small bench seat in the back with a little bed behind that. "This is maybe the coolest truck ever," I said since it was absolutely true.

"I had to have it," he said. "It's the only crazy purchase I've made since I started working, so I figured I'd treat myself."

I sat in the passenger's seat with my small shoulder bag on my lap and stared up at him. The door was open, and he was standing there with one of his arms on the door and the other one on the truck. There was a gate made of Evan blocking me in, and it was a glorious sight. It was overcast but bright at the same time, and his face seemed to me like one of an angel.
