To his surprise, his father was waving, calling him from his truck. Mike ran across the highway. “Get in, son. We're going home.” Mike put his bag into the back of the truck and hugged his father. “Dad，” he said，“how did you happen to be here？I didn’t call.”

“Your mother sent me here. Last night，she had a dream that you were coming home and that you were on Interstate 85 just below High Point. She asked me to come here to pick you up.”

For a moment, the two men looked at each other without saying a word. Then the father started the motor and said “She's waiting for you，son.”
