"I know that." Responding to Shawn's gratitude as we set off "Anything could happen to someone alone on this road. It's good I came by when I did."
"You look good tonight, kid. You got anyone special waitin' for you at this party? Ladyfriend?... Guyfriend?" I ask, trying to make conversation, trying to put him at ease with me.
We have plenty of time till we get to his friend's house. Least half an hour. Truth be told, I don't think Shawn is gonna make it to his friends tonight.
