"Did you miss me?" Ned asked with a grin as he helped me out of my hybrid car.
--first sentence of a 2008 Nancy Drew novel, Pageant Perfect Crime. It amuses me that the car has changed but the boy has not: still "Ned," still grinning, still helping Nancy out of cars.

Haven't Bess and George announced their secret Sapphic love yet? And surely Ned's out of the closet?
