A fine, persistent mist seems to have followed me all the way from Scotland, clinging to my coat as I step from the terminal into the damp evening air. Eight hours in the sky have left a weariness behind my eyes, but it’s washed clean by a bright, steady anticipation. I find the rental—a solid, dark SUV—and listen to its engine rumble to life. Then I’m driving, following the directions you gave me, each mile bringing me closer to you and the birthday I promised to make yours.
