Chapter Fifteen

As Lena maneuvered the minivan around the curves leading down from the cliffside home, her mind was on tonight’s party. Did Reece have any idea? She’d only let Grace in on the preparations a few days ago, and except for a few suspicious giggles, she didn’t think her daughter had let the cat out of the bag.

No, she decided, he didn’t know.

Would he be upset when he found out? After all, he had insisted that he wanted to ignore the event. As if thirty-one was over the hill. He’d certainly proved this morning that wasn’t the case. Just remembering all the things he’d done to her, all the things they’d done to each other, warmed her blood and turned her cheeks red.

Lena laughed. Imagine, an old married woman—a mother, for heaven’s sake—blushing.

She turned a corner and was treated to a dazzling view of the sun-gilded ocean. A plane, taking off from LAX, left a puffy white vapor cloud in the clear blue sky. The sight of the jetliner caused a faint stirring of memory. Then suddenly, Lena understood all too well why her husband was reluctant to celebrate his thirty-first birthday.

The senior Reece Longworth had been only thirty when he’d died, along with Reece’s mother, in that plane crash when Reece was only a child. Obviously he was having problems with the fact that today he’d outlived his own father.

“I should have figured it out.” She hit the steering wheel, frustrated with herself. “I’ll make it up to him,” she vowed. “After the party.”

Her thoughts focused on what she could do to ease this difficult time for Reece, she didn’t notice the approaching car until it had crossed the center line.

Lena had no time to react. There was the sickening sound of metal slamming into metal, glass shattering.

And then…nothing.
