Val and Matt Go to Washington

See Val. See Matt. See the 1989 Volvo Matt’s parents gave him in high school, thinking it would only last until graduation, packed up, seven years later, for a cross-country drive.

See Val’s iPhone ring. “Hey Mom,” she says. “Yeah, just getting ready now.”

See Matt leaning against the hood with his arms crossed. See Val put her arm around Matt. “Sure you don’t wanna call your dad?” See Matt shake his head and get into the driver’s seat.

See Matt’s dad with a woman and a baby.

See the headstone with Matt’s mother’s name.

Go, Matt, go!
