Chapter Seven

Sally couldn’t believe it. She’d gotten what she wanted. And it looked like it might be a recurring pleasure. Holy shit.

So why couldn’t she enjoy the ride, pretending—like they had—that everything was cool?

Something ate at her, spoiling her euphoria. Why hadn’t she taken the road block more seriously before? It didn’t seem like it mattered when she was solo, but now…she felt like she was lying to herself and the guys. Had she waited too long to mention it? Would they feel violated? Like she’d intentionally misled them?

Alanso and Holden, at least, were somewhat religious. Maybe some of the other guys less openly. Not in the strict sense or the shove-it-down-your-throat way, but she knew they believed in some form of higher being who organized the chaos around them. Alanso had said many times he thought it was divine intervention that had brought them together when they’d needed each other most. The permanent cross on his back was a quiet statement of his faith.

She loved that he’d never tried to dictate his beliefs. She’d had enough of that bullshit growing up.

What if she’d caused them to transgress? It wasn’t their fault, they hadn’t known, but it might be hers. She couldn’t stand the thought of them hating her. She’d have to tell them. Soon. But maybe she could fix it first. Without entangling them in her mess.

Only one person would understand. Well, maybe the crew ladies would too. She’d considered enlisting their help during her stay, but…this was too personal. Too much.

She needed Tom.

After throwing on her coveralls, she raced across the lawn to Eli’s father’s house. Her dash made it seem as if she were a spy or some action hero in the movies her Hot Rods loved so much. She didn’t want any of the other guys dropping in on her little talk with the only man she’d ever really considered a true father.

So when she raced up to the door, she knocked a little harder than she intended.

In no time, he opened his home to her with a smile, just like he always had. “Sally. Come on in.”

“Tom.” She hugged him hard. What if what she told him changed his mind about her? It seemed kind of farfetched, considering the way he’d stood by their sides despite their unconventional relationship and the evolving bonds they were developing.

But the brainwashing she’d endured as a child still sometimes reared its head.

No one will believe you.

This is the way God wants it to be.

You’ve been chosen for greatness.

Turning down His gift would be unforgiveable.

No wonder she’d left religion to others.

“Hey there, kid. I’m so glad to have you back.” Tom chuckled as he patted her. Until he caught on to her clinging, which lasted a little too long for simple greeting. “Ah, shit. What’s wrong? Are those boys of mine treating you bad? Do I have to go kick some asses? Those young fools don’t know what they’re doing with a lady like you.”

“You’re not that old, Tom.” She smiled against his chest.
