The road looked normal. We didn’t say much when we got there.
I wheeled to the side of the road and stopped. Daniel stood a few feet away.
Then I took a breath.
“I used to think this place was where everything ended. But it’s not. It’s where I stayed.”
He looked at me.
“Come with me.”
“I don’t feel stuck here anymore.”
Daniel nodded as if he understood.
“Thank you. For that night. For telling the truth. And… for asking me to dance.”
A small smile crossed his face.
“Anytime.”
I turned back toward the road.
