for leaks in the engine.
    Amy observed him as he worked on her
car.  He appeared to her to be a man that had mastered
his job well.  She noticed how he enjoyed getting his
dirty hands tinkering with her car.  He knelt down and
looked underneath the car for any leaks.  He checked the
tire pressure and the treads on her tires. 
    “Looks like you bought yourself a reliable
car.”  Adam wiped his hands off on his
pants.  He checked the dash lights, headlights and brake
lights.  “Yup everything seems to be in tip- top
shape.”  Adam closed the hood.
    “That’s good to know.”  Amy was
relieved to hear the good news.  “I hoped I didn’t buy a
lemon!”
    “If you have any problems, just let me
know.”  Adam flashed her a million dollar smile.
    “I really appreciate all you have
done.”  Amy looked at him gratefully.  “I’m
really sorry to cut you short but I do have to get back to
work.”
    Amy hugged him and gave him a peck on the
cheek.  She whispered into his ear.  ”Thank
-you.”  She rolled her eyes towards the service station
where his fellow employees stood gawking at them through the
window. 
    Adam led her to the car shutting the door
when she got in.  He leaned in the open window and with
his back towards them he gave her a kiss.  He touched her
nose with his finger leaving behind a smudge of oil. “Bye
babe.”

    Adam drove down the highway admiring the
scenery that passed by.  Miller’s farm stood on the left,
marked by the three blue silos and the weathered red
barn.  He had milked cows there for several
summers. Peruski’s family had planted corn last spring, now
all that was left was the rows and rows of cut
stalks.  The forest behind them reminded him of the
October nights he had spent coon hunting with his father, uncle and
cousins. 
    As he got closer to Amy’s house the fields
were fewer and the houses were closer.  He pulled up into
the driveway and she came out before he was able to even get out of
the truck.  She walked around to the passenger side and
the door creaked from the cold as she opened it.  She
tossed her skates in the back of the pick-up.
    Adam smiled at Amy as she moved close to him
in the cab of the truck.  He gave her a kiss that let her
know exactly how much he missed her.  “I missed you,
babe.”  He breathed in the mixture of her hair and
cologne. 
    “I miss you too.”  Amy placed her
hands on his unshaven cheeks and gave him a kiss.  She
leaned her head on his shoulder and snuggled close to him.
    Adam pulled back out onto the main
road.  The utility poles flashed by quickly and the
sunset blinded them as it reflected off the
snow.   Silly Love Songs  by Wings played
quietly on the radio.
    Adam squeezed Amy’s leg.  On the
one hand she was the sweetest girl he had ever met.  And
on the other hand no other girl had ever turned him on as much as
she did.
    “So what’s new?”  Amy smiled up at
his rugged face.
    “Just work and school.  Then I get
up and do it all over again.”  He
shrugged.  “What about you?”
    “Working of course.”  She placed
her hand on his leg, as she softly rubbed it.  “I also
helped Mrs. Dunn from church make centerpieces for Father Kevin’s
going away reception.”
    Adam pulled the truck into the parking lot of
the ice skating rink in Bad Axe.  It was full, but that
was to be expected on a Saturday night.  He grabbed their
skates out of the back of the pick-up, locked the truck and took
Amy’s hand.
    Adam entered the brightly lit rink with his
arm around Amy.  He guided her through the crowd to the
back where they sat down to lace up their skates.  He
waited for her to finish then held out his hand.  She
placed her gloved hand in his and they skated onto the
ice. 
    Adam skated around with Amy to the sounds
of  Saturday Night  by Bay City
Rollers.  He’d seen Janet as she skated past and waved at
the two of them.  A few more
