June wished she could wave her hand and the next chapter of this story occurred several weeks later, jumping past the emotionally painful parts.

But that’s not how life worked.

Besides, she really did want to be with Mark tonight, even though she wished the circumstances were far different.

Tonight she knew the only thing that could soothe her fevered mind and wipe the image of her dead sister from her memory for a little while was Mark.

And she needed that brief mental respite in a desperate way.

With him, she always felt calm, soothed. Everyone thought Mark was bouncy and hyper, but nothing was further from the truth. She was the high-energy one, and he kept her tethered to Earth.

Now, he’d be keeping her tethered to sanity, even if he could never know it.

Taking his hand, she led him back to his bedroom, where they’d spent hours playing around before. They knew how to make each other feel good, but they’d always stopped short of going all the way.

Not tonight.

So June closed her eyes and focused on the feel of his hands, the sound of his voice, even the scent of his shampoo and deodorant. Everything. She tethered herself to his anchor and held on tight.

A couple of hours later, as she lay safely nestled in his arms, she knew she’d marry him.

Without a doubt in her mind.

His fingers lightly stroked her arm. “I love you,” he whispered. “I hope you and July kick ass in Indy. I wish I could be there to cheer you on.”

She was glad for the room being dark so he couldn’t see how she struggled against her tears. “I love you, too. And thanks. I wish you could be there, too.”

“I’m so proud of you. I know how hard you’ve worked for this. Both of you.”

Okay, now she wished he’d stop talking. She thought about rolling over and kissing him to shut him up, except she caught sight of the clock on his dresser. “Oh, man. I didn’t realize how late it is. I need to get going. I still have laundry at home.”

Outside, rain thundered against the roof. “Let me drive you. Please? We were going to ride together tomorrow anyway. I can bring you back to get your car tomorrow afternoon after we leave the gym. Please?”

She hesitated for a moment, as if considering it. Part of her hated herself for using him like this, knowing he would offer to drive her.

Part of her loved him more than she could ever tell him. “Okay. Thanks.”

They dashed through the rain to his car, then he drove them back to her parents’ house first. “I’ll have to finish the laundry tomorrow,” she said, silently noting the time as she disarmed the alarm.

“I’ll help you. Want me to take it home with me and do it for you tonight?”

She picked up Zorro, who’d come to greet them. “No, because you have to get up even earlier than we do.” Already it was hard to remember to speak like July was still alive.
