Summary
It was a combination of mixtapes with either El or Max’s handwriting scrawled on them. One, worryingly, just said Eddie vs. Jonathan. She chose the one with a little doodle of two wolves on the case that read exit signs in Max’s big block letters.
Max wasn’t paying her any attention, fingers tapping the wheel like music was already playing. Robin wondered if she still felt a sort of reliance on it after Henry, if maybe silence scared her as much as it did Robin. She hadn’t aged a lot since then, still looked so much like the same fourteen year old girl who needed Kate Bush to survive. Except five years had passed; Max was a high school graduate with a job and a girlfriend and a plan for the future. Maybe Robin really was the only one still stuck in the past.
She pushed the tape in just as the light turned green. Tracy Chapman absorbed all the air around them with her first words.
