"Well, you were driving," Emily said, her tone light, almost mocking. "And you were the one who was complaining about having to stop every five minutes."

He pictured the map, clearly, folded neatly in the glove compartment. He remembered Emily grabbing it after their detour. A knot formed in his chest. His shoulders felt tight, and he could feel his pulse quickening. He gripped the keys tighter, wishing he could just *leave*.

"I was complaining because we were lost," he snapped.
