While you are in class, waiting for the last few minutes to be done, you see Dean’s car drive into the school parking lot.

He is picking you up. His college hours have been shorter recently, so he’s been able to do that.

When the bell rings, you make it through the crowds of people to make it to his car.

When you get out there, he is standing by his car, smoking a cigarette. You notice that he has a black eye, and then he sees you.

“Hey baby.”
