A loud honk shakes me out of my blank state and a semi-truck rattles
my windows as it nearly blows me off the highway. I glance down at the
speedometer and realize I’m going ten miles below the limit but can’t make
my foot press harder on the gas pedal.

Why am I going home for the summer when I had a perfectly good
job offer to work in the kitchen at my favorite bakery in the city? When I
take a deep breath, I can almost smell the buttery croissants coming out of
the oven, hear the metallic clang of the pan as the friendly and cheerful
owner slaps it on the counter before sliding a batch of cookies or muffins in.
I’ve been filling in as a barista on the weekends, something my dad already
rumbles against.
The pleasant thoughts of the bakery turn to my dad’s voice, that’s
been growing increasingly bitter and angry at me over the last semester.
You don’t need extra spending money. Why waste that valuable

this point. Another truck blares its horn since it can’t readily pass me.
Instead of speeding up, I merge onto the shoulder and sigh.
“What in the heck was that?” Lily shrieks. “Are you okay?”
“I was driving too slow,” I admit.
There’s a moment of silence. “You really don’t want to go home, do
you?”
“It’s not that,” I say, but it kind of is.
“You’re driving the speed limit now, right? Nobody’s going to rear
end you into a ditch while I’m talking to you, are they?”
“I’m stopped on the shoulder,” I tell her.
“Oh, Kayla. Hang in there for a few weeks and I’ll be back too.”
