Chapter 12Even though they didn’t have a class together in the spring term, Dan and Nicole had decided to continue getting together for a chat over a late afternoon drink on Tuesdays.
Dan was waiting for her at the Cougar. Nicole almost danced into the bar.
“You’ll never guess, Dan!”
In spite of the fact that they were just friends, she leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
“My mom gave me a car for Christmas, a PT Cruiser!”
“Yeah? Wow! Brave woman.”
She frowned at him, but it was obvious she wasn’t angry. She was way too happy.
“She said she trusted me.”
Dan chuckled, and Nicole swatted his hand.
“What do you think I’d do that she’d disapprove of?”
“Sorry, gorgeous. I know you’re a good girl. But if you were my daughter, I’d worry about you while you were away at college.
