Skyler POV

The cops didn’t show up, so now we get to hang out. It isn’t usual for this to happen; normally after a race we scramble like mice.

I could punch myself for being so nervous to see everyone, but it’s like I never left. My chosen family is elite.

Ryder and Kate are at the taco truck, enjoying their night. I’m so glad my plan worked, so Foster will do this in public. I lean in to kiss him, feeling a sense of pride wash over me when his inked arms fold around me.

He may be worried about this so-called Keeper, but nothing in this world scares me more than losing Foster Jennings.

Hand in hand, we walk past a few shops. They’re all closed, as the races are typically around midnight, and that’s why we love food trucks. “Ice cream?” he offers.

“Definitely.”

We walk up to a candy apple red truck, scoping out the menu. “I’ll have double chocolate,” he decides. “You?”

“Pistachio!” I tell him.

“Fucking weirdo,” he teases, pulling out his wallet to pay.

The rest of the racers have left, and only a few stragglers stay behind, but our crew is all grouped together. I step over to Kate, filling her in on my new racing life as I enjoy my three-scoop waffle cone. She laughs, not believing me. “No, I’m dead serious. I just raced,” I tell her.

“You what?”

I gesture to my bike, a matte black racer with a new detail, a pink butterfly on the tank. Me, Callum, and Ryder spent the day getting it ready.

She walks to it, strumming her hands along it, and then she turns to Ryder. “Is this what you were working on all day?” Ryder nods, and she shakes her head. “You better be freaking careful, Skyler!”

I nod. “I promise, I will be.” The crash not only affected my life, but it also traumatized everyone around me.

I can only hope this time with more practice that nothing like before will ever happen again.
