I shove her scarf at her and she accepts it automatically. I grab my backpack off the damp ground and walk rapidly away, not responding to David’s “Are you leaving?” When I look back, I see that they’ve turned away and are walking together toward her dorm entrance.
Inexplicably, I want to cry. I call Tommy instead.

When Tommy arrives in his truck, I see Neil sitting next to him in his uniform that has a blotch on the front as if he got a pizza stain during lunch. “You need your baby brother to bring you to the police station, Neil?” I mock, climbing over him and grimacing when I touch too much of his hairy bare arms.
“I’m fucking off duty, bitch,” he grinds out in response.
“You OK?” Tommy asks, giving me a concerned look when I rest my head on his shoulder.
“Just drive,” I tell him.
Tommy starts driving and to distract me, begins chattering about his bike and how he’s saved up enough to put in a new engine while Neil scoffs.
During a lull in the conversation, Neil asks, turning to leer at me. “So, Lil, you datin’ anyone at your fancy school?”
I ignore him.
“I haven’t arrested anyone lately who goes there, but it’s only a matter of time. Let’s hope it ain’t you.”
It’s too bad he can’t look more like Tommy, but at least Skelly can rest assured he has at least one biological son.
“Yeah, sure I’m dating someone,” I say, just to irritate him. I light a cigarette and blow the smoke in his face. He snarls and swipes at my hand, and I laugh.
“Who’s that, now?” This time it’s from Tommy. He’s not jealous, just curious.
“The football quarterback,” I say with a straight face. “We like the same books and we’re going to European chocolate festivals.”
Neil snorts in disbelief, and Tommy laughs, reaching over to gently poke me in the ribs.
“Shit, you just saying that to get me all jealous.”
“Maybe.”
I lean into him and plant a kiss on Tommy’s cheek.
