Chapter Seven

Zack turned in the driveway, the gray house with its white trim blending in with the gray drizzle, making him restless.

Zack’s phone began ringing as they entered. Zack answered as Jenny went upstairs to change into play clothes.

“Zack, man, have you decided? You’re killing me, man, with the suspense.” His team leader’s voice came through loud and clear.

“I’ll do it. But just the one race, Thomas. I’m not returning for good. I’ve got a few things going on here and can’t be away long.”

“Hey, a couple of weeks to get the feel of the track and the new car, and you’ll be ready to win the race. Then we’ll talk.”

“No more talk. I said I’d do this one, but it’s the end. And any money I win goes to Jacques’s parents, got that? I’ve given it a lot of thought since your call.”

Jacques had been their only son, only child. And Zack wanted to make sure they knew how much he’d meant to him.

“Hey, man, whatever you say. We’ll meet you in Stockholm in two weeks. Two weeks, then we’ll be riding into the winner’s circle. We’re staying in the Olgatha Hotel near the track.”

“I’ll see you then.” Zack hung up.

Once Jenny was asleep he’d call for plane reservations.

He flexed his hands, imagining the feel of the wheel, already thinking about the turns of the course—one of the most challenging designs in the circuit. The adrenaline began pumping as he envisioned himself pushing the new car to the limit. He did like the speed and the control he could command over the machine. He always had.

Wednesday evening Marcie was home when the phone rang. She picked up, surprised to hear Gillian on the other end.

“Where are you?” she asked.

“We’re home! It took forever to get my car fixed. And we’ve been away from home so long, I just wanted to come straight back. We’ll go see Chicago and New York another time. How have you been? Jenny said you’ve been to the house and went on a visit to Monkesville with Zack. Tell me what’s going on.”

“We have settled on a tentative friendship, I guess. It’s hard to avoid each other in such a small town. And with Jenny.”

“He was a love to watch her for us. I just hope it wasn’t too awkward dealing with him.”

Dare she share with Gillian how her feelings were growing for Zack? That’s what might prove awkward, since Gillian would soon be Zack’s family.

“Tell me about your trip and how it feels to be back,” she said, deciding to hold off a bit longer.

And maybe see if she could quantify her own feelings better before telling Gillian.

Marcie smiled as her new friend went on and on about her love for Rocky Point and the new friends she’d made. When talk turned to the wedding, Marcie felt a pang of envy. She shouldn’t. She was happy for Gillian and Joe. But it did bring confused feelings. Maybe Marcie wasn’t as ready for friendship with Zack as she thought.
