The closer we got to Texas, the sicker I felt. I’d even taken up smoking again, which had already earned me two lectures from Tish. I hadn’t smoked in over a year but with everything going on plus being away from Zane, I couldn’t help myself. Apparently, I needed a crutch.

By the time we arrived in Austin, I had my feet drawn up in the seat and my head resting on my knees, willing myself not to vomit. I remembered every moment of growing up in this place and I hated the way every muscle in my body tensed at the thought that I was within miles of everything I’d run away from in the first place. It all looked exactly the way I remembered. It felt like I was willingly riding right into my nightmares.

Tish checked us in at a motel just a few blocks away from the courthouse. We’d researched it before we left. It was close enough to escape either on foot or by car if we were followed. There most likely wouldn’t be a lot of press but given Hunter’s status as an Olympic medalist, the story had gathered national attention with the media outlets. It was sad, really, the way athletes were regarded by the media, as if they could do no wrong. I hoped, after this trial and Hunter’s guilty verdict, some of that might change.

By the time we carried our bags to the small room, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I dropped my duffel and darted into the bathroom, losing what little food I’d been able to consume over the last few days.

He flipped on the light over the sink, filling the tiny room with a loud buzzing as the bulb flickered like a strobe light. Tish ignored it, placing my toothbrush and toothpaste on the counter before grabbing a washcloth and running it under the water. He stepped behind me, carefully laying it over the back of my neck as I continued to retch. If it had been anyone other than Tish, I would’ve been embarrassed. But, he’d seen me at some of my lowest points and never judged me. He always supported me, even when I didn’t deserve it.

“I’m proud of you, Lee. You know that?” he asked when I was finally able to stand. He held a hand out to support me as I moved to the sink to wash my face and brush my teeth.

“Why?” I asked, my voice hoarse. I was light-headed and when I looked at my reflection, small, red dots were showing under the pale skin around my eyes. I stared at the rash-like spots, groaning as I realized the blood vessels had burst. Perfect.

Tish leaned against the wall beside me as I started brushing my teeth, his arms crossed as he watched me in the mirror. “Because you’re here. You’re doing it. You’re facing this
