Chapter Thirteen

Harlan

After the second practice of the day, I hurried back to the motorhome to get ready to go out with Cade. I wasn’t sure what I was doing. He’d guaranteed we were only going out as friends, but that saddened me a little. Part of me had hoped that he came to my motorhome earlier to declare his love, but that was silly. We barely knew each other; a declaration of love would have been ridiculous.

Quickly showering, I dressed in jeans and a three-quarter sleeve top. May in North Carolina could be warm, but I’d found that the evenings could still be cool. I readied myself as quickly as I could, so I could spend time with Dillon before bedtime. I’d arranged it, so Cade and I would leave right after I put Dil down for bed. My grandfather had been great with keeping him, but I hated to force him to chase my four-year-old around anymore than necessary.

“So, are you gonna explain why you’ve been avoidin’ that young man?” Grandpa asked as he settled on the couch next to me. Dillon was sleeping in his bed, and I was trying to prepare myself for what was to come.

“I just can’t set myself up for heartbreak, Grandpa. There is no way a guy like Cade would be interested in something long term with a single mother. How long before he decides that playing house isn’t as fun as he thought it would be? How long before he realizes that Dil gets cranky and inconsolable at times.”

“You know, honey, you don’t like it when people make assumptions about you, why are you doing it to him?”

I stared at my grandfather, surprised that he was calling me out. He was right, and I knew it. “Cade can’t even make up his mind about what kind of career he wants, what makes you think he can make up his mind to stay in a relationship? I don’t want Dillon to get hurt.” I whispered, “I don’t want to get hurt.”

“There’s the issue right there,” he insisted. “You’re judging him because he’s done different things to get ahead. You said he owns a gym where he’s a personal trainer, the physical therapy goes right along with that.”

“And now he’s working on a pit crew.”

“Harlan, you should be the first to know that when an opportunity arises you have to take it. He’s good at what he does, why punish him for following his dreams? You’ve decided he isn’t worth the effort because you assume he’s gonna hurt you. Well, what if he doesn’t? What if he’s exactly the person you need in your life.” He paused for a moment, and I thought hard about what he said.

He continued. “You know, your mother didn’t want to give your father a chance. She came home, crying to your grandma asking similar questions. What kind of life could she have with a race car driver? How could it ever be serious? How could she compare to
