I couldn’t even pick it out. I had no fucking idea what it was. “What is this shit?”

“‘What The World Needs Now Is Love’,” Scottie grinned.

“This is what you want to listen to while we chase down the love of his life?” Edu snapped.

“It’s the perfect song!” Scottie laughed. “RememberinMy Best Friend’s Wedding?”

“No!” I shouted. “I don’t have a vagina!”

We hit a bump on the bridge, and the truck hit the air for all of two seconds. I gripped the dash, holding on for dear life as Edu pressed harder. “We’re gonna make it!”

“You’re gonna make it,” Scottie grinned, clasping my shoulder.

“Not with this fucking song!”

“Don’t you dare change that station,” Scottie snapped. “This is during the car chase. Jules is chasing what’s his face and she jumps out of the bread truck at the station to catch him!”

I thought back to the movie that I’d seen only once. “Wait, she doesn’t get him in the end.”

“Well, no but?—”

“Fuck that,” Edu snapped, flipping the station. “That’s just bad fucking juju.”

“The song doesn’t matter!” I shouted, but Edu kept fiddling with the radio, nearly crashing us into another vehicle as he searched for the perfect song.

“I think you should listen toI Don’t Want To Miss A Thing,” Dash said as he continued to chew on something. “Fucking brilliant song.”

“From a movie about the end of the world,” Scottie snorted.

The radio screeched asAin’t No Mountain High Enoughcame on. “Now this is what I’m talking about!” Edu laughed.

“Fucking yes!” Scottie grinned, giving him a high five. “Yes, so fucking perfect!”

“Bridget Jones!” Edu laughed.

“Right? Running in the snow to Mark Darcy. Fucking brilliant!”

I could only stare at them as they bonded over the movie and the song.

“And then she kisses him and everything’s fucking perfect!”

“Well, for the next two movies. We’ll see what happens,” Edu chuckled.

He pulled into the airport and sped to the drop-off area. As soon as the truck stopped, I hopped out and grabbed my crutches. I went as fast as I could, but they were a fucking nuisance.

“Alright, Dash. Give us the flight!” Edu shouted, hurrying alongside me.

“It boards in twenty minutes. Gate 28. Get your asses moving!”

“Fuck, we’re not gonna make it,” I huffed, going as fast as I could.

“I got this,” Scottie said, running ahead of us. “A hundred dollars to borrow your wheelchair,” he said to a lady with an oxygen tank.

“No!”

“Lady, this is an emergency! The love of his life is about to get on a plane and he can’t chase her down if he’s hopping after her!”

The lady looked at me, surprised as hell. “Is that true?”
