Finch and Sarah waited rather impatiently in line for the Go Carts. The few times she tried to direct the conversation back to Eleanor and the mystery, he redirected her by asking pointed questions about Lucky. He was beginning to know more about the dog than the girl, which definitely wouldn’t do.

“You ready to lose, Campbell?” Finch teased, ready for this day to at last be about the two of them and nothing else.

“What? You aren’t going to let me win?” she shot back, nudging his foot with hers. Why did a kick from Sarah feel better than any caress from his previous girlfriends?

“Not on your life.” He already felt as if he had won just by being in this wonderful woman’s company, but he wasn’t about to say something so overtly corny and put her off.

Just then, their turn came up, and the cart jockey motioned them toward a pair of waiting vehicles.

“You look cute in that helmet,” Finch offered, after shoving his onto his head and lowering the visor.

“Funny, because you don’t.” She stuck out her tongue at him before pulling down her visor as well.

“Oh, it’s on!”

All this flirting was driving Finch crazy in the best of ways. Why couldn’t every day be like this?

One of the nearby employees held onto Lucky’s harness at the outside of the track. The dog barked when Finch glanced his way.

“Ready?” The trackmaster asked, waiting for nods from both Sarah and Finch.

And when he got them, he shouted, “Go!”

Finch pressed down hard on his gas pedal, jolting the little car to life. It had been years since he last drove one of these small, zippy vehicles, but he still had no trouble navigating the twists and turns in the track.

As he finished his first lap, he searched around for Sarah—and found she’d collided head-on with one of the barriers. Finch laughed and waved as he passed.

“I’ll get you next time!” she shouted, shaking her fist like some kind of old-timey cartoon character.

By the time Finch lapped the track again, Sarah’s cart had been restored and she was quickly gaining speed. “That’s more like it,” he called. “You’re finally going to give me some competition here!”

Sarah kept both hands on the wheel, predictably, safely, at ten and two. “Don’t talk to me while I’m driving!” she shouted, pulling slightly ahead of him.

Finch laughed so hard, he lost focus and—crash! He ended up bouncing off the barrier wall himself.

“Did you have fun?” he asked her once they were both back on their feet. The ground still felt as if it were buzzing beneath him and he had to hold onto a handrail to steady himself as he pulled himself away from the track.

“I had fun watching you crash,” she answered with a laugh and a playful jab.

“Yeah, yeah, laugh it up while you have the chance. I bet you won’t be laughing when we hit the zip line.”

Sarah blanched. “The zip line? Um, no thanks.”

He grabbed her hand, and she reluctantly walked with him toward the next attraction.
