16 and Missing Page #6

to Arizona?

He has a job.

He can't just pick up and go.

Really? That doesn't make sense.

None of this sounds right.

Please just turn your car around

and come home.

You know what?

I don't need this from you.

No, you don't.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

- Goodbye.

- Abbey.

Abbey?

Gavin?

Hey.

What's wrong?

You look so much different

than your pictures.

Different how?

You look older.

Older?

I mean, my profile picture was

just taken a few weeks ago.

I don't know, I just...

I didn't expect you to look so different.

See, this is why we're perfect

for each other.

This is why we're amazing.

We have this relationship that's based

on so much more than just looks.

I've had the opportunity

to fall in love with your mind.

And you being gorgeous

- is just icing on the cake.

- Yeah, you're right.

You could literally have

the floppiest ears, the biggest nose

and it wouldn't even matter

because I've already fallen in love

with the beautiful person that you are.

I'm sorry, Gavin.

Hm, don't be.

You're so right.

Not yet.

Why not?

This isn't the right place

for our first kiss.

- It... it's not?

- No.

I imagined someplace epic.

Someplace beautiful, you know?

Not the porch of an old restaurant.

- Old guys staring at us with dogs.

- Yeah.

But I have the biggest day

planned for us.

So let's get going.

And then we'll end the end of the night

with some dinner

at the ranch and some wine.

- Wine?

- Yeah, wine.

You are a grown mature capable woman.

Surely you can handle

a little bit of wine?

- Of course I can.

- Of course you can.

So where's your car?

Oh, they don't let me use the patrol car

when I'm off duty.

Oh, okay.

- Do you wanna use mine?

- Do you mind?

- Do you wanna drive?

- Do you want me to drive?

- Yeah.

- Then I can drive.

Let's go.

Hey, sleepy head.

I'm not sleepy.

- No?

- No.

Well, you drove all night.

You must be tired.

I can't believe I'm here

and we're finally together.

Well, what did I tell you?

The moment you turned 16,

we could finally be together.

And here we are.

You know that moment

when Romeo first meets Juliet?

- Yeah.

- That's how I feel right now.

I feel like we were

in this expansive room

and I'm watching you from afar

and now, suddenly, we're close.

And pretty soon, I'll kiss you.

Okay, that's so romantic.

It's just what I feel, you know?

I know, but you always used to say,

like, write how you feel.

But I have to think about it.

You can just come out and say it

with such perfection.

Well, I do have a few years on you.

Hm, okay, that's true.

And you, you are so wise

beyond your 16 years.

I swear, you have the beauty

and a mind of a woman, not a child.
