She's twelve when he first says he's going to marry her. He gets it on tape, even, and after they bury the capsule, he takes her chin and kisses her, sweet and clumsy and innocent.

She's sixteen when she gets her license. She picks him up in Wayne's old truck, drives too fast down the two-track. He says it then, too: “We're gonna get married, Katie.”

“We're gonna keep driving,” she counters, pressing down harder on the gas.

He reaches across her and grabs the wheel, makes her pull over. When he kisses her this time, rough, he knows what he's doing.

She doesn't taste anyone's innocence anymore.
