I wasn’t with Finny on that August night, but my imagination has burned the
scene in my mind so that it feels like a memory.
It was raining, of course, and with his girlfriend, Sylvie Whitehouse, he
glided through the rain in the red car his father had given him on his sixteenth
birthday. In a few weeks, Finny would be turning nineteen.
They were arguing. No one ever says what they were arguing about. It is,
in other people’s opinions, not important to the story.

What they do not know
is that there is another story. The story lurking underneath and in between the
facts of the one they can see. What they do not know, the cause of the
argument, is crucial to the story of me.
I can see it—the rain-slicked road and the flashing lights of ambulance
and police cars cutting through the darkness of night, warning those passing
by: catastrophe has struck here, please drive slowly. I see Sylvie sitting
sideways out of the back of the policeman’s car, her feet drumming on the
wet pavement as she talks. I cannot hear her, but I see Sylvie tell them the
cause of the argument, and I know, I know, I know, I know. If he had been
with me, everything would have been different.
