CHAPTER SIXTEEN

KRISTEN WALKED BLINDLY away. She glanced over her shoulder, wondering if Mathew would follow. He didn’t. And so she walked away, bumping into Todd on her way out.

“Not now,” she warned him, hand held up to silence him.

She left the garage, finding a spot out in the crew member parking area. The back bumper of the team’s blue rental van. No one was around, everyone already in the garage. Even the stands were empty, although fans were straggling in to watch the morning practice.

She heard it then. Children’s voices. High-pitched screams of delight. The raised voices of adults.

“Terrence, you better not spray that stuff at Cindy again!”

She looked left. Out beyond the gravel parking area sat a white mobile office. The letters MCS were painted on its side, and below that Motorsports Children’s Services. A waist-high fence made out of gray plastic surrounded a play area. Picnic tables and chairs were spread beneath a wide awning that kept the children and their caretakers out of the sun. They were doing crafts.

A squeal of delight made her turn. A little girl was chasing a younger child, squirt bottle pumping water onto the girl’s back.

She’d chased Trina like that when they’d been younger.

No. Don’t think about it.

But she couldn’t seem to stop herself, Kristen leaned forward and clutched her stomach. She had to leave, to get away from the pain that struck her out of the blue.

I know about the wreck.

The littlest girl ran away, giggling. It was all so raw. Her forgotten dreams. Her sister’s death. Leaving home.

Home. She hadn’t been back to Oklahoma since right after the accident. She’d left under the pretext of going to college, but she knew better. She hadn’t been able to face her parents—their misery, their sorrow, but most of all, their censure.

It’d been her fault Trina had died.

She clutched her hands to her head, then stood up. This whole trip down memory lane was over.

One foot in front of the other, she reminded herself. The way she’d survived the past ten years.
