Chapter 16

Trista

February 14th

Trista sat in the chair across from the large bed and watched Savannah sleep, wondering if she would ever forgive her mother for not giving her the life she deserved. Maybe she shouldn’t have left all those years ago when her mother had begged her to stay, but when you were young and in love, your heart tended to make decisions for you.

She brought her legs up into her arms, wanting a blanket. She wished she had gotten more than a few hours of sleep. She knew her lack of sleep would catch up to her once she was back home in Indiana. Light from the sunrise cast a glow on the white curtains. She rose to see what the morning had brought.

A white blanket of snow covered the vehicles below, making it impossible for her to tell which car was their rental. The sun’s rays gave her hope. At least it wasn’t snowing anymore, she thought. But how on earth were they ever going to get out of this mess? A man with gray hair made his way through the drifts of snow. Frank. She brought up her hand to tap on the glass but stopped when she saw Seth trailing behind him. A pit formed in her stomach. She didn’t know what was worse, sticking around until Tuck found them or sitting in a car with that egotistical, superstar wannabe for hours.

“Seth!” Savannah yelled and waved.

Startled, Trista turned around and saw her daughter, her hair spiked halfway to the ceiling. “What are you doing? Stop that.”

“What? It’s Seth. Are they leaving?”

“I’m sure they’re just heading to the gas station to get the tire fixed.”

Savannah plopped down on the edge of the bed, smoothing down her hair. Just as quickly, she bounced back up. “I’m starving.”

“Get cleaned up and we can head downstairs to get a bite to eat. I bet this place has great breakfast choices.”

“I was hoping to have breakfast with Seth,” Savannah whined.

“Well, you’ll have to make do with your mom for now. Besides, I don’t know if it’s a good idea for us to hang out with that guy. I don’t know what his deal is, but I don’t trust him.”

“Gosh, Mom. Give the guy a break. His wife died a year or so ago, and he lost his daughter.”

“Excuse me?”

“Don’t you know anything?” Savannah looked annoyed. “His wife’s plane went down, and she died. Then he ended up in rehab and lost custody of his daughter.”

“Rehab? What do you know about rehab?”

Savannah let out a long sigh. “I’m not twelve anymore. You always think I’m this little girl who doesn’t know anything. I know what rehab is. It’s where people go to get off drugs and alcohol.”

It was true. No matter how big she got, she would always be her little girl. And maybe that was the problem. Maybe she had a difficult time coping with her little girl turning into a woman. Sometimes the passing of time brought with it changes she wasn’t ready to accept.
