I was kidnapping him, did you?
Sheesh. I’ve got enough problems!
[No shit!] Still, both Bree and I
are relieved when he hands off Hunter
to Mom. He gestures for me to follow
him to his car. I want to take you
out tomorrow night for your birthday.
As you can probably tell, I brought
a little go-fast along, but it’s mostly
gone. I’m thinking you’ve got stash
of your own. Can you spare some?
[Whose birthday is this, anyway?]
“I have a little I can share,” I admit.
“But only about half a gram.”
If I give you some cash, can you
score some more? He extracts two
wadded hundreds from a pocket.
“I’ll try. But just so you know,
this was the first time I’ve done
any since Hunter was born.”
Okay. He slides behind his steering
wheel. Oh. I ran into Buddy before
I left. He said to send you his love.
Dad Drives Off
Leaves me coughing
on his exhaust fumes and shaking
at his parting remark.
I haven’t stopped
to think about Buddy, aka Adam,
in a very long time.
