“Well, now I feel like a real bitch. We can take the bus back tomorrow. The bus can use the highway.”
“I had to face it someday anyway.” I shrugged. The last thing I wanted was for Lilly to feel bad. “Next step will be to conquer it.”
That seemed to lighten the mood.
“Maybe you should try it on my scooter.” Her lips upturned. “I’ll teach you to ride it. If you can conquer this road on a scooter, you can conquer it on anything.”
“Right now?”
“No!” She laughed and gave me a pat on the shoulder. “But maybe tomorrow.”
“Deal.” We sealed the contract in a handshake. “It’s the least you can do to pay me back for all the time I’m putting into you!”
“Ha!” Lilly motioned to remount. “I’ll be in debt to you for that for the rest of my life at this rate.”
“You’re damn right you will.”
