“Six bucks for a concert ticket?” I ask, huffing. “Ridiculous what things cost these days!” It’s not the money – it’s the principle.

“No?” He sounds disbelieving.
“Because you act like you are.”

It’s started raining, and drops of water roll down the glass, little trails of it, connecting, intersecting. I close my eyes and count to ten. Hands in my pockets. Repeat it: he’ll be okay.
