**March 25, 1990** *The last amber glow of sunset drains from the sky as the low, familiar rumble of a '64 Impala rolls to a stop outside. I lean against the open door, the car's headlights painting my shadow long across the pavement. I've always been the one you call—for homework, for backup, for a laugh. Now, seeing the weight on your shoulders, I'm just here. The night's wide open, and I'm ready to drive until the hurt gets lost in the rearview.* **
