The Last Time We Say Goodbye (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
THAT MORNING I WATCH THE SUN RISE, and then I get in my car and drive. I know the way to Megan’s house like I’ve driven there a hundred times—straight down 27th Street to the south part of town, where the houses are old but expensive and well maintained. Wrought-iron fences and such. Her house is a small tan-and-green one near the zoo. It has a red door. Christmas lights are still strung along the edge of the roof. A black-and-white cat stares at me from the window. Dad’s a dog person, by the way. I tuck Ty’s collage frame under my arm and make my way carefully up the uneven sidewalk. I climb the steps onto the porch, take a deep breath, and ring the bell. It’s warmer today, I realize. Water drips off the roof. The snow is melting. Megan answers the door. She is blond and bobbed and dressed in a little navy blue suit dress. When she recognizes me her face becomes the quintessential picture of surprise, her burgundy-lipsticked mouth in a perfect O shape. Behind her I see Dad, dressed for work, wearing a similar expression.
