Joey

When he told her, she was not surprised at all. The fact that he casually added the word obviously to the end of his sentence made it clear that he knew who he was and was comfortable with it. She smiled back at him and thanked him for telling her. The two chatted lightheartedly for a few more moments, then she climbed into General Norman and drove off, away from the party, back towards her house. Turning the radio down, she stared out the windshield, halfway paying attention to where she was driving. He had been so composed, so confident in what he said, it was actually kind of inspiring. Slumping down in her seat marginally, she sighed. Some people are just born with that kind of self confidence she thought. She shook her head, as if to clear the self-deprecating thoughts away. Well, this will be one interesting year. She kept driving.

(Definitely a work in progress. Bear with me.)
