"Actually, I'll just come by in about half an hour. I haven't had lunch yet."

"That's good. He'll need to get ready."

I hung up and made a quick sandwich. I was still a little stuffy so I jumped in the steamy shower for a few minutes. I was done and dressed by 2:45, so I walked over to see if Mark was ready yet.

Mark was up, but he looked really sleepy. When his hair was wet it seemed more curly. His shower hadn't woken him up enough. "Oh you're here, good. Megan, do you think you can drive?"

"I think I should." I said looking at his puffy eyes. "Oh, but I can't drive a stick."

"No problem," Andy spoke up. He walked to the counter and tossed me his keys. "Take my car. I just filled it up."

"Thanks." Mark said, giving his friend a very weak and sleepy punch in the arm.

I motioned toward the door and then waved goodbye to Andy. He returned my wave and added a "Drive safe." There was also a big flirty smile that I added to my total.

"We will."

We walked to Andy's car that was just a few spaces away. "Wait here." Mark said and he ran down to his truck that was at the end of the lot. I played with the seat adjustment while I waited.

He returned a few minutes later with his arms full. "What's all that?"

"Map to Dad's hotel, Rebekah's favorite candy bar in case she is hungry on the way back, a bottle of water, and some tissues." He handed the last two items to me. "You've been sick, hydrate."

I smiled, opened the bottle dutifully, and took a drink. "You think of everything."

"Yeah, except for how tired I would be. Thanks for driving."

"I can read road signs and maps, you should sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely, I'll just turn the radio on softly. If that won't bother you?"

"Nope." He leaned the seat back a bit and closed his eyes. It was kind of fun to drive again, it had been almost two months
