Chapter 15

“Aight, I’ve bought all I’m gonna buy. Let’s go see some lights!” Dustin says. He’s completely oblivious to what just happened, but Tessa isn’t.

“Yeah, let’s get outta here. I wanna see the lights!” Tessa says sweetly as she snuggles up to Dustin.

“Me, too.” I wrap my arm into Dylan’s, and we make our way to the Mustang. Now that my emotions are in check, and I know that I can trust Joe, this game has just been taken up a level. I can’t wait to tell Piper, and it’s time to turn up the charm with Dylan.

Dylan looks my way and smiles. He opens the passenger door and makes his way around to the driver’s side. He slides in, buckles up, cranks the ignition, and we are on our way to the Speedway. Thank goodness. As we travel to the other side of Charlotte, I enjoy the lights of the city. I glance at Dylan, and he gives me that perfect grin. I smile back and decide to continue to play this game. I slide my hand to reach Dylan’s and intertwine our fingers. The confidence that he has always possessed is definitely glowing. He takes his thumb and glides it up and down mine. I can’t even believe that I’m allowing him to touch me, let alone, act like I’m enjoying it. I can’t wait for the day he pays.

The line to get into the Speedway is backed to infinity. I look at Tessa, Dustin, and Dylan to see if they are thinking what I’m thinking.

“No, Char, we aren’t leavin’,” Tessa says.

“Really? I mean, we can go check out the trailer park near the house for free, and there’s no traffic.”

“No, we’re here, and we’re gonna enjoy it, even if it takes all night,” Dylan says with a grin. I can’t help but feel an underlying current with that comment.

As we make our way inside, it is overwhelming the number of lights that are in this place. There are millions upon millions of lights on display, The Polar Express is playing on the biggest TV screen known to man, and there are all kinds of activities going on in the infield. There is a nativity scene, petting zoo, and a chance to have your picture made with Santa.

“Y’all, this is totally worth the wait. It’s ah-maz-ing! Plus, we are actually driving on the track of the Coca-Cola 600,” I say.

“Too bad we can’t put the pedal to the metal. I’d love to see how fast she’d go,” Dylan says as he glides his hand over the dashboard.

“There’s a thing called the Richard Petty Driving Experience. That’s how you can do that, ya know?” Tessa smarts back.

I look out the window, cover my mouth with my hand and try to hide my giggle, but it’s totally not working.

“What? Is something funny, Charley?” Dylan questions.

I shake my head no, and Tessa adds her two cents.

“Oh, it’s funny all right. It’s a cryin’ shame a car with this much power has to go ten miles an hour when most drivers are hitting well above a hundred.
