Summary
She meets her at a soda fountain in Avon-by-the-Sea, on the outskirts of Asbury Park. It's her daddy's shop and she works there in the summers. She's recently graduated, supposed to be starting at Jersey City University in the fall.
"Liberal Arts for now, I suppose," is what she says. Chris gets all of this out of her just by saying the words, "Workin’ here long?"
She wouldn't even know her name yet if not for the tag on her uniform that says Mary in blue letters.

Mary doesn’t meet her eyes, nods distractedly. “I had to tell them I was out with my friend Sally. He, um. Dad didn’t want me seeing you.”
Chris scoffs. It’s nothing she didn’t expect.
“So why are you here?” she asks, voice a little hard, unable to help it. She tries not to give a fuck what people think, but she’s also not made of stone, as much as she wished that were true sometimes.
“Because I want to be,” Mary says quietly.

Bookmark Notes:
It’s two days of sleeping and eating vending machine food and smoking like a chimney before she takes action. She thinks of Mary, probably grounded, sitting in her room with her sheets over her head like a cocoon.
She thinks about Liberal Arts and no set plan and this small fucking town with this bright girl in it.
She drives.

An F/F version of the classic Springsteen song, excellent.
