“
i
have
errands
to
run
and
i
think
i
’m
going
to
get
them
done
now
before
dinner
,”
she
said
. “
could
you
move
the
car
for
me
?”
his
disappointment
tinged
the
air
.
he
gave
a
slight gaze
over
his
shoulder
.
“
where
do
you
need
to
go
?”
“
the
grocery
store
and
the
dollar
store
.”
“
for
what
?”
her
placidity rippled.
“
why
does
it
matter
?
can
you
move
the
car
?”
he
turned
and
shot
her
a
sad
look
.
“
i
’m
sorry
,”
she
backpedaled. “
i
thought
you
were
making
my
answer
contingent
on
whether
or
not
you
would
move
the
car
for
me
.”
“
why
would
i
do
that
?”
“
i
don’t
know
;
i
just
thought
you
wouldn’t
think
it
was
important
and
you
would
try
to
put
me
off
from
going
.
i
didn’t
see
how
it
was
a
relevant
question
—i
still
don’t.”
“
if
that
’s
the
criteria
we
’re using,
you
ask
me
irrelevant
questions
all
the
time
,”
he
said
.
