You got into the car, sitting next to me. We were going on our first road trip together, from Washington to Florida to visit the beach. You were my best friend, my favorite person and now I would get to sit in a car with you for the next 44 hours. I smiled warmly, "hey, you got the snacks?" I asked, my voice sweet and calm, yet quiet as if it were some sort of dealing going on. My sister, Leena, looked back at us, smiling and starting the car.
