Along the way, however, Sidney had a change of heart. She said she’d decided to drop me in Darien, where I could catch the shuttle the rest of the way.

“Why?” I asked. “What’s going on?”

“I just think it’s for the best.”

“Tell me why.”

“Look. I’m seeing someone else.”

“I know.” I mentioned my friend, the one who had introduced us in Constitutional Law. No, Sidney said. Someone else besides. My stomach dropped, and I felt a lump in my throat.

She spun off the highway at Darien and when we reached the shuttle stop she jumped out. I sat motionless while she grabbed my suitcase from the trunk and ordered me out of the car. I refused. She set my suitcase on the pavement and waited. I didn’t budge. The standoff lasted five minutes. Finally she put my suitcase back in the trunk and got back in the car. Neither of us said a word as she raced south on I-95, weaving in and out of traffic like an Indy-car driver. By the time we reached the airport, however, she wasn’t angry anymore. I even sensed some grudging admiration on her part when we kissed good-bye.
