Nick’s phone rang. “It’s Scotty.”
“He’s probably heard what happened.”
Nick pressed the green button to take the call. “Hey, buddy.”
“Are you guys okay? It’s all over the news that someone threw something at you outside the restaurant.”
“We’re fine. A tomato hit Mom in the face, but she’s okay.”
“Oh my God!What is wrongwith people?”
“Are we supposed to answer that question?” Sam asked.
“I mean, really. Who throws tomatoes at the first couple?”
Nick’s lips quivering with amusement at Scotty’s outrage. “People who don’t like us?”

“I’m okay as long as you are.”
“We are.”
“All right, then.”
“I read your essay. It’s very good.”

“No way.”
“Way. You could be a voice for young people getting engaged in their government.”
“Wow. I can’t believe you like it that much.”
“I really do.”
