She took her eyes off the road for a minute. “You don’t know how relieved I am.”

He slipped the twenty into his schoolbag, satisfied.

“Thanks! Won’t be home for a while - that ok?”

She turned again, smiling. Joy Division pumping out at top volume; a joke, because they already knew he’d passed.

Neither of them noticed the truck.

I did manage to brake in time, and it gave my son a chance to make sarcastic comments about now not being the right time to have an accident, which I'm sure he enjoyed, so there was a plus side to it. Thanks for reading Magic and Lena
