Chapter 12

“What did you think of Seattle?” Blake took his eyes off the road for a second to glance in the mirror at his sister sitting in back.

“It was awesome!”

“What did you like best?”

“Umm. The Space Needle was pretty cool and so were the fireworks at Gas Works Park, but I think I liked paddle boating on Green Lake best.”

“That was fun. But don’t you think Pepper’s Adventure should take place at either Pike Place Market, or Seattle Center? There are so many more possibilities at those locations.”

“I don’t know. The aquarium has potential and so does the wharf. Don’t worry, I took a ton of pictures, so whatever you decide for the setting will be fine.”

Blake yawned and refocused his attention on the road. They’d spent two days in Seattle playing tourist, and went nonstop from one attraction to the next. He was wiped out. Way too tired to be dealing with all the traffic on Stevens Pass today. He couldn’t wait to get home. Home—hmm. Was Leavenworth home or was Maine? With every passing day, the small Washington town felt more and more like home, and Katie had thrived since arriving. But the same question always struck him when he considered their future. Could he live in the same town as Susan and not be with her? Seeing her with Greg last week had hurt, and if she was going to be dating, he knew it would be painful to see.

He glanced in the rearview mirror at his sister who’d drifted to sleep. Lucky girl. She’d begged him to let her sit up front, but because of the air bags, she was safer in back since she was so small. Katie would need to start school in another month, and if they stayed here, he’d have to get her enrolled. He needed to make a decision soon.

A sign stating the miles to Leavenworth quickened his pulse. They were almost there. He blinked and refocused.

Just then a deer darted across the single-lane highway on the other side of the road, then an oncoming car swerved and crossed the center line heading right for them. He slammed on the brakes. Hard and fast. Metal crunched against metal. The car flung around upon impact. His body thrust forward hard into the seat belt. The air bag smacked into his face. Searing pain sliced through his left arm, and his head pounded. The Jeep slid off the road and onto the dirt toward the forest beyond. Everything suddenly stopped.

Incessant knocking rankled him. He just wanted to sleep. “Go away,” he mumbled. The sound continued. He raised his head and moaned at the pounding in his skull. His eyes shot open when reality dawned. The repeated knocking on the passenger window pulsed through the silence. He lifted his eyes in that direction, but the rest of his body didn’t respond.

“Help is on the way!” a male voice shouted. To say the man looked shaken was an understatement. He turned and ran to a car positioned in front of the Jeep, only that vehicle was wrapped around a huge fir.
