Mr. Thompson didn't say anything to Kristin about the match, but she knew he was worried. They were both silent most of the way home, and after they dropped Emily off, Kristin felt an almost overwhelming desire to tell him how upset she was.

"Dad—" she started to say.

But he cut her off. "I think you're just under a lot of strain," he said absentmindedly. He turned to her with a look of such confusion and concern that she wanted to cry. "How about taking a vacation together, just you and me, after the tournament is over? I know once you've made the team you'll be able to relax a little. You'll really deserve a break."

Kristin felt her eyes fill with tears. What if I don't win? she was thinking. Won't I need—and deserve—a break anyway? But she didn't have the courage to ask him. She just slumped back in the car seat and stared miserably through the front window.

"I want you to get a lot of rest the next couple of nights," Mr. Thompson continued. "No more evening dates. Your match with Wendy is going to be pretty tough on Thursday. And after that—"

"Daddy," Kristin moaned. She felt so tense, and she was afraid she was going to break down in sobs. "I know how much sleep I need. Remember, I'm the one who's playing in this tournament!"

Kristin couldn't believe the words she had blurted out. Her father looked shocked and hurt. Kristin felt terrible, but she couldn't help feeling angry with Dorrie for telling her she had played well when she knew she hadn't. And now she was angry with her father's understated criticism.

Kristin could feel the blood pounding in her ears. The truth was that she just didn't know what she wanted anymore.
