45. Trust

The night wind caresses us as Jocelyn winds through the neighborhood streets. She drives with purpose, knowing where she’s going. I hold the door handle next to me and glance at her.

The picture is one that I believe I will remember until my dying breath, even if it’s a hundred years from now.

Her hair swirls and blends in the darkness. Her eyes seem to radiate, their focus straight ahead, their windows shielding something deep and powerful behind them that I want to see. She looks like she’s twenty-six, not sixteen. She looks like she’s a woman who doesn’t need to be with a boy.

She looks at me with a smile confirms that I shouldn’t think such thoughts.

The old, expensive houses pass us by on old-school blocks with old trees towering above, all reeking of old money. It reminds me of some Chicago suburbs. Money is money anywhere. It’s a beautiful thing to not be in that world, but to be here in the passenger seat, taking a drive and looking out and wondering where we are going.

Jocelyn turns on the radio.

The tune playing is perfect, and I know after two seconds that it will be our song.

She turns it up and keeps driving, not revealing anything, just driving and listening.

I never want to leave this moment.
