Оглавление“Unca Joel is walking with me. You can come?” little Caleb asked Beth.
“No, but thank you for the offer. I need to be heading home. I’ve got some things to do,” Beth replied.
“Go ahead, walk with us,” Joel invited. “I’ll use the time to ask you out again and to thank you for saving my life.”
“I didn’t save your life. You’d have regained consciousness and driven yourself to the hospital.”
“No, I wouldn’t have. I needed you.”
“Well, you’ve said thank-you already. That’s enough.” She checked her watch. “I need to be going.”
“You’re right,” Joel jumped in. “Going out with me? Tonight? Dinner?”
“Joel, you’ll be here for a few months and then you’ll leave. You’ve always been really good at leaving people behind,” Beth said, tussling Caleb’s hair and heading for her car.
“You take every opportunity to throw that in my face. Maybe I never knew they cared.”
It was too late. She was out of hearing range.
Caleb tugged on Joel’s pant leg. “I care.”
