His voice cracking with emotion, the words spilled out in a mess of sentiment. By the time he pulled himself together, he was at the end of his hour, and his carefully selected final song was cut off in the transition, leaving no time for the legally-required station identification he was supposed to play.
What a way to start to the first day of the rest of my life, he thought to himself. But as his father patted him on the back, he noticed the cheerful grin. He shrugged off his disappointment and turned his mind to breakfast tacos.
