Fine And Well
Chen Su hates driving. In this way, the move from Brooklyn was a small mercy. Chen had refused to drive in Bushwick, let alone park. She always let Miles take the wheel, and she would be gnawing at her thumbnail and staring in the side view mirror as he drove like it was nothing. He always pulled or backed into spots so fast, his hand nearly a blur on the wheel like he was spinning a pirate’s ship wheel in a cartoon. He’d glance over and start laughing that ridiculous, obnoxious laugh of his when he saw Chen all but flailing in her seat in an ultimate freakout, telling him to not look at her, to focus on parking without killing them both instead. Annoyingly, the park was nearly perfect every time.
