I turned to find Saylor hauling ass toward me.
When she was close enough, she launched herself into my arms and wrapped her legs and hands around my body.
“Hey,” she said softly, looking down into my face, a wide grin making my heart happy for the first time since the accident earlier in the day.
“Hey,” I said, squeezing her closer. “What are you doing here?”
She scrunched up her nose.
“I heard about that accident,” she said softly. “And I wanted to give you a hug.”
This girl,I thought.She was it for me.
Her legs slowly dropped from my hips, but even when her feet were touching the ground, I still didn’t let her go.
I held her for the longest of times, and even when the shift change started pouring in and out around me, I held her.
Nobody stopped to talk, and I was grateful.
My day really had been shit.
And I was glad that I had Saylor to make it just a little bit right again.
“Come on,” she said. “I had your momma drop me off.”
I let her loose finally, allowing her to step back.
“I have to go get my shit out of my locker,” I said.
She pointed to my bike.
“I’ll wait right there.”
When I came back, she was right where she said she would be.
When I arrived, throwing my leg over the bike she was already straddling, I said, “Where to?”
And, smiling widely, I drove us to every single one of my favorite places in town, much the same as I’d done for her the other day when she was upset.
Except we didn’t go home with our goodies. We went to a park right in the middle of town and ate until we couldn’t eat anymore.
Then I watched the sunset with her until the last ray of light disappeared from the sky.

I smiled at the postman that handed me the large envelope.
“Have a good day,” I waved. “See you tomorrow!”
The postman grinned and gave me a thumbs up in return.
“See you tomorrow, Saylor!” he called.
