Clarissa

“Come on, baby, please.”

I blow in my hands, rubbing them together before trying the ignition again.

“It’s not going to start, Mommy. You’ve tried a hundred times.”

“Shit!” I bang my hands against the wheel as Dante opens his mouth to claim his reward. “Not a word, son.”

I glance over to where Theo’s car sits in the driveway and debate on asking for a favor. I turn it one last time and get nothing but a mechanic light in the dash.

“Maybe I can fix it?” Dante pipes from the back seat.

“It’s okay, Peanut, I’ll get it fixed.” I chew on my lip and decide I don’t have a choice. “Come on, we’re going to ask Theo for a ride.” I gather Dante, pulling his hood up as I walk across the yard and knock on the door. Theo answers after a beat with a sleepy smile.

“Hey, Clarissa, good morning, Dante.”

“Hey, bud.”

I can’t help my laugh. “Theo, I’m so sorry to bother you, but my car isn’t starting, and I was wondering if you could give us a ride to school?”

“Sure. Just let me grab my coat.”

The ride to school is filled with updates, mostly about Troy.

“Theo, did you know Troy is at camp?”

“Yeah, pretty cool.”

“He’s going to be in the Enful.”

“That’s NFL, baby,” I correct. “The National Football League.”

“I knewed that.”

“You knew that.”

“That’s what I said.”

“Sorry,” I say, glancing at Theo. “I know it’s early.”

“It’s fine. Happy to give you a lift. Will you need a ride home?”

“No, I’ll figure it out. Thank you.”
