Chapter One

June 2014

It was almost over. Two hours of listening to the popular kids brag about being popular adults had the less involved classmates thinking of how their rears were going numb. Sure, one of their own, Joe Copeland, took home the award for most unchanged. That was because he still played the guitar, sang, and drank beer in the same bar he’d frequented during high school. His friends, a small group of reformed stoners, took up one banquet table in a sea of other alumni cliques.

With the final toast given, the school song blared as classmates poured out into the lobby of the venue. Don’t run off you two, Russ Nichols said to Dave and Pam Mitchell. I’m getting Kelly and we’re all going to catch up.

What? Pam strained to hear over the roar of the chattering crowd.

He said, meet him at the bar, Dave told his wife. He took her hand and they worked through the banquet tables, stopping periodically behind happy huggers exchanging social media tags.

Where you going?
