One last stop, he says. And they drive to Westside Lanes. I grew up bowling. I don’t want to bowl. It was raining. We’re not going to bowl, the circus carpet dark with gum beneath them, and he parts the curtains on the best photo booth in town. He feeds it the three dollars, Get in. They somehow share the short ridged stool. In here we have to tell each other one true thing. You first. Click. This is the best way I could think to have my arm around you. Click. Click. Click.
