Chapter 15

I watched Jacob drive. He was very skillful at it, for his age. I wondered how he had become so good. I guess he was just as natural at driving as I was at diving. I felt tears in my eyes as I started to relax.Didn’t that always happen? It was like if you slowed down, your emotions could catch up with you.

“Upset?” Jacob asked, without taking his eyes off the road.

“Ninjas cutting onions,” I replied, trying to make light of it.

“It’s okay to cry about your father. Even when they mean well, they just don’t get it, or they don’t get it across, you know? Maybe we don’t give it back the right way either. I don’t know what my dad wants out of me. He’s so hard on me! I guess he wanted a mini-me, and he didn’t get it, at least, not until Victoria, Victor, that is, came along!” Jacob had a great laugh.
