”Later in the drive she passes a sign that reads: OLDHAM – 45 miles“When I was 18, I went out on a date with a boyfriend, and I had decided that...I was going to lose my virginity that night. I was very nervous, and very excited, and a bit scared ... That’s how I’m feeling right now ... Nervous, excited, and a bit scared.”Driving through the streets of Oldham, being directed by the BMW’s satnav.“I’m actually getting very nervous now. I’m shaking. I thought I had grown out of these feelings. I knew all of them slightly.As the second song finished, Mary and a Junior I assumed was her boyfriend sat down in the last two chairs.“Hey, Mary!”“Hey, Steve. This is Ben.”I shook hands and said “Mary, Ben, this is Bethany.”Mary asked “Bethany, do you mind if I dance with Steve at some point tonight? You can ask Ben if you want to dance with him.”“Yes, of course, dance with Steve.”I noticed that she didn’t say she’d dance with Ben. Maybe it was implied.The third song was another perfect theme. Miller had been saving wood from clearing pasturage, it seems, and had cuttings from red cedar at the sawmill made into nearly a thousand eight foot posts. They’d been trucked to the fence while Richard was in Gatton, and were distributed along it, as were rolls of mesh and coils of wire.They worked till dusk, ate, slept, and were up at dawn. Janey bagged the first pig, pushing its snout against the old fence early in the day. As it was outside Lamorbey, she let it lie. But Caleb climbed over. When we woke up the next day, mom had already left. In the small fridge in her room, we found 20 bottles, 10 ounces each filled with her milk. She had been saving the excess milk so that I could drink it after she left. I started crying. Sarah put her hand on my shoulder. I looked up at her. "I think you already know what to do." she said gently. "Go after her" "Yeah! It is thanksgiving and families should be together today." We picked up a turkey and started driving. A 2 hour drive took us.
