Midnight
“I need you to be more specific than that.”
“Why?”
“Never mind. Just ask the driver. Tell me what you can see out of your window.”
Tina gave her the information and Bette put her on hold while she relayed it to the driver. The car pulled out into traffic and got close to where Tina said she was, but Bette could see the problem. The oncoming traffic on the opposite side of the road was crawling. She told Tina to hang on again and gave the driver a specific set of instructions. He pulled over and Bette jumped out of the car.
“Tina? Are you still there?”
“Yes, Bette. What is this all about? Where are you?”
“Just hang tight, T. Look out the window and tell me what you see.”
“There’s a Locca store on my right. On my left there’s a Yela store. We’re moving now at least. Crawling, really. You don’t want to know what my meter says.”
Bette was walking along as Tina spoke, moving closer to the Yela store she could see in the distance. Almost there.
“Just keep talking T. What lane are you in?”
“Lane? We’re in the lane closest to the sidewalk. Bette, why…”
“No reason. I’m just trying to visualize it,” Bette said, trying to keep her voice light. Maybe this wasn’t such a great idea. It was going to be a long walk.
“Well, okay. Anyway, how’s the party?”
“It’s fine. Jonah’s not mad at you at all, T. He’s just sorry you missed out.”
“Yeah but we’re moving now. It shouldn’t be long before I get there. Maybe in time for the countdown.”
“You know, Tina,” Bette said, weaving her way through the people on the sidewalk and crossing the street when she got to the corner, “I hate New Year’s Eve, but I like kissing you when the clock strikes twelve. I’m always grateful that we’ve spent another year together.”
“Aren’t you sweet!”
“Of course, I don’t need a calendar to make me thankful about that, but you know. It’s like a tradition.”
“It is. I know. I have about twenty minutes to get there, Bette. I’ll be there.”
“Where are you now, T? What do you see?” Bette asked, striding quickly down the street.
