Adrian slung a bag from his shoulder to the bak seat and got in. He put the car in drive and we took off. For a minute I sat in the backseat unsure of what to say. I thought he wasn’t going to say goodbye and now here he was coming with me.I leaned forward into the front seat. “What do you mean you
