Ryan: “Okay, you win. But I need the car keys. Mom can’t walk. At least let us take the Audi.”

I smiled.

I typed back:

“Check the garage. Spot #45.”

I stepped onto the balcony and let the cold morning air hit my face.

  • Ryan demanding the keys.
  • Ryan demanding the valet.
  • Ryan demanding “his” car.

But Spot #45 would be empty.
